The 1994 prizewinner in Economic Sciences, John Nash won his prize for his work on game theory. The “Nash equilibrium” concept from economics and game theory is well-known to those who have studied game theory, even as it relates to Jeopardy!
His struggles with mental illness and his recovery led to Sylvia Nasar’s biography, A Beautiful Mind, which was adapted into the early-’00s Best Picture Oscar winner, with Russell Crowe portraying Nash.

I think that 2016 has been a great year, despite up and down days or moments, but the major ups were seeing the runs of Andrew Pau, Buzzy Cohen, Hunter Appler, Pranjal Vachaspati,Seth Wilson, Tim Aten, Cindy Stowell & even the Tournament winners: Sam Deutsch, Jason Sterlacci & Sharath Narayan. Can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store.

I think 2016 is not a very good year for me since I lost my commenting privilege from (a different website) for posting rude comments back in March and somehow realized and posted better comments on the website. I’ll try to post very nice comments in 2017.

And in 2018.
