The poster for the MIT vs. AGPC Olympics

Well, the AGPC-MIT Olympics was initiated in this room...

As AGPC Founder Bruce Whitehill will attest with his fervently pointed finger...

But lo and behold, those in rooms nearby could not stand the noise coming from the tiddlywinks match of Roger Hanna (MIT) & Wayne Saunders (AGPC)

John Ellerbe (AGPC) and Michael Lieberman (MIT) facing off on the jigsaw puzzle front!

Mildred Spear (AGPC), Eric Price (MIT), Brian Wu (MIT), and David Finn (AGPC) in the midst of their competition with stacking puzzles.

Wayne Saunders (AGPC) and Roger Hanna (MIT) competing at tiddlywinks... with the Spear Sweet Wedding Bells from the 1930s provided by Rick Tucker!

Dale King, distracted by a mechanical puzzle provided by Rick Tucker: A Journet Phlipemin puzzle!

The Make-a-Game contest: The "MIT" team of John Cabot, Rick Tucker, and Dun Xiao (actually of MIT!)

Hmmm... John Ellerbe (AGPC) and Michael Lieberman (MIT) intensely focus on solving these puzzles as Patsy Beffa-Negrini and Harold Raizer look on.

[name?] (of MIT) vanquishes this puzzle in record time!

Meanwhile, at the tiddlywinks tower, Roger Hanna (MIT) and Wayne Saunders (AGPC) remain in heated winks combat, as Tim Turner and Bob Finn look on.

Clint Martin has his eyes on you!

Oh, so now the other Make-a-Game competitors... the AGPCers (David Beffa-Negrini, Anne illiams, and Coit Morrison). Let's not look within their minds!

These make-a-game guys are still conniving (Dave, Anne, and Coit)

What will they (Dave, Anne, and Coit) come up with?

Ah., back to the stacking puzzles. Eric Price (MIT) looks inspectively at the stack at hand, wondering what to do. Dave Finn (AGPC) looks on.

Beth Overstad, deeply focused on stacking these dice as per the game instructions!

Dun Xiao (MIT) and John Cabot teach Steff Krim (one of the judges!) how to play the newly invented game of Thataway!

Debby Krim, no stranger to the mike, or hand gestures!

The AGPC judges opted for the Cabot-Tucker-Xiao Thataway! game over the AGPC Game by Dave Beffa-Negrini, Anne Williams, and Coit Morrison. Sorry!
