Petrov Day Celebration: Wits and Wagers game night
Welcome to the trivia game where you are rewarded for being good at guessing, rather than merely knowing trivia!
To celebrate Petrov Day, the day the world didn't end because of one man's measured judgement under terror and uncertainty, we will raise shots of vodka in his name and play a game of much lower stakes.
Being good at guessing, or being "well calibrated", is the ability to know how confident you should be when you have incomplete information. It's a very important skill when you are trying to quantify how to do the most good possible in a complex world!
Pending grant approval, there might be a pool of actual money that you can designate to a charity of your choice* based on how many chips you win!
