Note the change in location: we will now be meeting in room N101 of the CSIT building.
Also note the different date than normal: Friday the 23rd is the CSSA's Epic Games Night, so we will be meeting on Saturday the 24th instead.
This meetup, we will be having rationalist fun and games! We will start off with 5-minute debiasing, where we will break up into groups and think of ways to attack the scourge of evil biases. Then, we will move on to a game of Liar's Dice, described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar%27s_dice , which will teach us about probability and bluffing. As always, vegan snacks will be provided.
