The Event:
Do you know how many computers were connected to the Internet on January 1, 1989?
Or how many YouTube videos have more than 1 billion views?
What about the bandwidth beneath the Atlantic Ocean?
If you want to solve problems like these, join us at our upcoming Estimathon — a team-based contest that combines trivia, game theory, and mathematical thinking. Participants will be placed in teams that will be tasked with solving 13 estimation problems in just 30 minutes.
After the Estimathon concludes, join us for a Q&A session to learn more about the firm’s work and opportunities.
Where: CAB G61
When: Tuesday, 12.11.2024, 18:15 - 20:00
