Alice in FUNderland

Family Workshop by Dr Richard Robinson

Lewis Carroll, though famous for writing about Alice’s adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, was much more than that! A noted mathematician at Oxford University, he was interested in puzzles, paradoxes, pastimes, parlour games, life, the universe, and everything… Alice's adventures reflect them. And so do the ever-changing games in FUNderland. Here you will find: * Time flying backwards (the White Queen)... * Time rushing forward so fast you can't catch it (the Red Queen)... Things that grow huge suddenly, then shrink unaccountably (that'll be you!)... * Incredible inventions you will make yourself (the White Knight's Incredible Machine)... * Simple and captivating parlour games, like Picture Consequences, Nim, Boxes, Good News/Bad News, Squiggles... * The White Queen's Six Impossible Things before Breakfast, from Rice Krispies rafts to milk that pours sideways... * And on and on... This stuff is as plain as the nose on your face, though you've never seen it before (just like you can't ever see the nose on your face. Go on, have a look). We will delight you, you will delight yourselves, (and we'll even help you find your nose)
