This Friday Yann Ricaud will tell us about two of his favourite riddles. See you there!
Unless you've heard of it or love to create and solve tricky problems, you've never tried to randomly break a rod in seven pieces and form a seven-sided polygon from those pieces. Moreover, you've probably never heard of the Three Gods Riddle, considered by Wikipedia to be the hardest logic puzzle ever. In this talk I will present these riddles and their solutions.
