Hey all,
This post is an announcement for a CO mirror of CANONEXPANSION, a fairly difficult science side event that I'll be running (you can find a better description of the set's difficulty in the announcement. ) The set is free to play. Depending on people's availability, I think this would be best run sometime Sunday after AoE and Scattergories both finish. I think it'll be best as a fairly informal shootout, either in one room or two, but if there's significant pushback teams might be doable (keeping in mind there are only 6 packets and staffing considerations.) If you're interested, please put your name down on the signup sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Based on what shakes out, I'll have more details about this a bit closer to next weekend.

Re: CANONEXPANSION @ CO
Given 8 signups, half of which are tentative, I'll place this as a shootout around half an hour after Scattergories wraps up - there are only 6 packets so I'm not anticipating this ending ridiculously late.
Re: CANONEXPANSION @ CO
I'm not planning on participating in the other side events, so if someone could post a heads up when this is estimated to start, that would be helpful. Also, I might end up having a conflict at the same time, which is why I put my name down with a maybe in the spreadsheet.

Amusingly, out of the 120 tossups heard, 57 were super-powered, 41 were powered, there were 78 (!!!!!) negs!
Thank you so much to Geoffrey, Akshay, and Vishwa for writing the set - it was incredibly fun!

This was an immensely fun set, and I'd like to thank the writers for coming up with such creative questions.
