PUZZLES

Workshop · LLF × SFL · 2026–2027

Puzzles.

A monthly workshop on experimental design and quantitative analysis. Bring an unfinished problem, leave with fewer.

Tuesdays, 15:00–16:00 Once a month OdG (LLF) and Pouchet (SFL), alternating

How it works

Not a seminar.

Someone brings a puzzle

A design question (an experiment, a questionnaire, a systematic data collection) or a quantitative analysis problem. Unfinished is the point.

The room works on it

Collective brainstorming, informal and horizontal. Nobody needs a finished talk, and nobody is there to grade one.

Students first

PhD and master's students have priority for bringing puzzles, but anyone can propose one.
