Brief Biographical Sketch:
Not Available. Past Classes(Look at the class archive for more.)Codes, Redundancy, and Hat Puzzles in Splash Spring 2024
A set of people are each given a hat. They can see each other’s hats but not their own, and they all simultaneously guess their hat color or pass. They win if at least one person guesses correctly and nobody guesses incorrectly. What is the optimal strategy?
In this class, we’ll discuss how this puzzle is related to error correcting codes. Time permitting, we’ll talk about the mathematics of information, the power of redundancy, and how redundant English is.
