Attention December graduates

We’d like to honor your success at a festive champagne reception! Join your classmates, alumni, faculty and College staff in the Betty and Gordon Moore Lobby, Hearst Memorial Mining Building, on Wednesday, December 6, at 5 p.m. In addition to refreshments, we will have a special graduation gift for you. RSVP and reserve your gift by emailing bears@berkeley.edu on Friday, December 1.

Winners, winners

Here is the answer to last week’s brainteaser: The jeweler cut four of the pieces into three pieces each and then cut the three remaining pieces into four pieces each, and divided them accordingly. As of press time, ME junior Joshua Bishop-Moser and AS&T graduate student Andrew Aquila got it right, but EECS senior Cho Mon Kyaw sent the correct answer first. Congrats Cho! Thanks everyone for submitting an answer.

The winner of the fall Genius Corner drawing is CEE senior Brian Yangyuen, whose name was randomly drawn from all the brainteaser winners since the beginning of the semester. Yangyuen wins two movie tickets courtesy of Berkeley Engineering Alumni Relations! Finally, the winner of the participants’ drawing, whose name was randomly drawn from all those who submitted answers this semester, is EECS graduate student Erwin Lau! Lau wins a Berkeley Engineering T-shirt and mug.

This is the last Engineering News of the fall semester. We’ll resume publication in January. Happy Holidays!
