TheMathCircle@Canisius had our first meeting on Tuesday October 2, from 4pm to 5:30pm. We had 5 enthusiastic participants, and we filled up all the white boards at least once. Some good questions about why the same counts show up no matter how you play from an initial start. We will pursue that later.
