Brilliant PGR Talk yesterday to wrap up the academic year by Matthew Howells on "The Travelling Swiftie Problem (Taylor's Version)". A unique and engaging way to introduce the travelling salesman problem and routing optimisation. Well done, Matthew 👏

I do love the EXIT: the game series. So much so, I’ve kept all the boxes to remind me of all their wonderful puzzles. Sadly, the time has come for them to meet the great paper recycler in the sky. Thames & Kosmos Kosmos Games UK
