Party Ideas For Math Nerds?

Posted by kdawson on from the three-piece-suits dept.

rbf writes "A girl I like at my university, a graduate student in mathematics, will be having a birthday next month. She had thought of throwing a nerd-themed party — show up with tape on your glasses, pants hiked up, etc. However, she decided against it because most of her friends are math nerds and wouldn't even have to dress up! So my question for the community is: What fun party ideas would appeal to a group of mostly math-major nerds?"

    See who can recite Pi the furthest in Hexadecimal (3.243F6A8885A308D31319...)

    Play pin the tail on the integer?

    Dress up as your favorite nonlinear equation.

    Start a drinking game where everyone increases their drinks parabolically. (or alternatively: everyone drinks when someone says "Archimedes.")

    TP the English department utilizing the golden spiral....

    a multiple of 7 (49, 24, etc..), then you must say "Buzz", Protip: If you make it above a number that meets all 3 rules, start over because you have missed the point of a drinking game. Something tells me that you wouldn't make it above 24.

    If that's way off base, at least here's a party idea: have everyone come dressed up as a liberal arts student. :) But where would you find enough McDonalds uniforms at such short notice?
