Sorry, I just thought this was really cool.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors is also often used as an example of the mathematical concept of non-transitivity. A transitive relation R is one for which a R b and b R c implies a R c. A reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive relation on a set is known as a partial ordering, from which notions of "greater" and "less" follow. A game option which is "greater" than another is closer to being optimal, but such a notion does not exist in Rock, Paper, Scissors: The relation used to determine which throws defeat which is non-transitive. Rock defeats Scissors, and Scissors defeat Paper, but Rock loses to Paper. In fact, Rock-Paper- Scissors could be called "antitransitive" because if A strictly defeats B, and B strictly defeats C, A necessarily loses against C."

Also, Corry uses 'Rochambo' wrong, now that I finally looked it up. Ha, Gingerich.

*edit*

I kind of really want to play this advanced version of capture the flag:

"Norwich Rules are typically played with three tennis balls in each base. This game was revolutionized by the famous Mann/Mosenthal team, who altered the rules slightly and drastically improved this game. The jail is set up as in the variation above. There is no time limit, and one person can only carry one tennis ball at a time. To get out of jail, you must be tagged by a member of your team, and you get a free walk back."

Doesn't that sound sort of awesome?

Remember how I was going to do food writing for the paper, then got distracted? Jenna and Louis, now section heads, specially came to me and said, you have this job, submit an application for forms sake. It would feel more like dirty nepotism if they hadn't both read my writing. I'm not being hired on the basis of friendship so much as on the basis of known skill, which sounds egocentric, but makes me feel amazing. So I have a job for fall! Yay! Baby's first regular column!
