| Title of Talk | Spot It! with Combinatorics |
| Abstract | The game of Spot It! consists of 55 game cards, each card has 8 symbols, and each pair of cards has exactly one symbol in common. The idea is to 'spot' the match on your card before the other players 'spot' their match. There are many ways to approach the mathematics behind designing a game of Spot It!. Different fields of mathematics are considered and applied to the problem, ultimately resulting in a beautiful interconnectedness within concepts of Combinatorics. |
