Agile Deals Thoughtworks a 21

Eli attended the fun ThoughtWorks “Big Casino” night during the Agile 2010 conference in Orlando this week. ThoughtWorks, cleverly put together this event to generate money for charity and of course build brand awareness.
At the event, Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks, delivered a powerful speech on corporate social responsibility and the changes at ThoughtWorks to reflect this commitment. The event was well attended and enjoyed by conference attendees as significant money ultimately donated to three different charities.

Agile gambling — I like it!
For those suitably inclined, I offer the following bet (from Statistics Hacks, by Bruce Fry, p.183). Just email me if you want to play. Here’s the bet.
You have a deck of cards, I have a deck of cards. We each shuffle our decks throughly. Now we lay out our cards one at a time – one from your deck, one from my deck. I bet that at least one pair will match exactly — for example, I put down a Queen of Hearts and so do you.
Any takers?
