The End of Mind Games; Long Live Mind Games

Chelsea Mind Games, sadly, has been canceled by Chelsea Market.

We lasted a year and a half! We gave out lots of silly prizes, and a smaller number of the more-coveted envelopes-of- cash-that-also-prove-you're-a-genius (the best kind of currency). And, of course, hundreds upon hundreds of smart people from all over the city — from ages 7 to at least 70 — came and competed, and, I think, enjoyed second dates free from the bar scene, and met people who wanted to discuss probability and combinatorics, and shouted out “Ouagadougou!” when asked for the capital of Burkina Faso.

I will keep you updated on what's next.
