- 8 December 2004, we continued looking at the Nim arithmetic which Nigel told us about in connection with his talk. We constructed GF(16) by extending GF(2) and GF(4) to see how we could arrive at Conway's Nim arithmetic tables without using Nim arithmetic (stuff about finite fields here.)
- 1 December 2004, Nigel Phillips, John Conway's lexicographic codes
- 24 November 2004, we went to hear Imre Leader presenting his and Bollobas' proof that, in 3D, the angel can escape the devil. Here is a paper by Conway on his original 2D Devil and Angel problem.
