oh yea speaking of schelling points they got two members of I think the GB olympic gymnastics team to play the schelling point game on TV. they weren't very good at it (one of the questions was "name a number" and one of them said 3, wtf, 3 isnt a schelling number, at least the other person said 1) but otoh they were just having fun rather than competetive schelling powergaming so sure

wonder what kind of wonders an olympic schelling point game team would get up to

probably they'd just memorise a pre-written list of schelling points, which would be lame D:

(The Schelling point game: Each team is a pair of people. The host names a set (eg fruits, Oxford colleges, numbers, blogs, philosophers, locations and times in New York City), and the people in each pair get a point if they both name the same member of that set (the Schelling point) without discussing it)
