Next Monday, Jane Street will host an Estimathon in META 🧩. There will also be free food 😋 provided!

But what is an Estimathon?

The Estimathon is a team based contest that combines trivia, game theory, and mathematical thinking. Teams will have 30 minutes to work on a set of 13 estimation problems, the winning team being the one with the best set of estimates. Example questions include:

• The number of Boeing 747's ever built
• The number of calories you'd be eating if you had "one of everything" from the Taco Bell menu
• The length of the shortest border any country shares with Russia, in miles

We will also have time at the end of the Estimathon for a Q&A with Jane Street Traders, Software Engineers, and Recruiters for anyone who would like to learn more about careers at Jane Street. More details can be found in the facebook event! Sign up by yourself or with your team at latest the 3rd of February here!

TLDR;

⭐ What? A fun team-based estimation contest with an exiting company!

⭐ Where? META

⭐ When? Monday the 7th of February 17:50

⭐ Food? YEEES!!!!

Hi again.

At the Mulled wine chapter meeting tomorrow we will have to validate vaccination certificates for all attendees, in accordance with the new guidelines from THS.

You can get your vaccine certificate at covidbevis.se.

If you are not vaccinated or you recieved your vaccine outside of the EU and therefore cannot get a vaccination certificate you will only be able to attend the chapter meeting if less than 100 people attend.

If you for medical reasons cannot get vaccinated you need to provide a medical certificate instead.

Hi everyone!

THS has recently released new guidelines for COVID-19 based on the new restrictions from the Public Health Agency of Sweden. THS has concluded that all events within THS (including chapter activities) fall under general gatherings and we therefore need to follow these restriktions.

Ofcourse the previous restrictions still apply, which can be read about in detail here.

Besides these we want to emphasise the new requirements for vaccination certificates for attendees of events with more than 100 attendats. This means that for all events and activities hosted by the chapter where the number of attendats exceed 100 all attendants must show a valid vaccination certificate.

If you are vaccinated, and recieved your vaccine within EU, you can acquire your vaccine certificate at covidbevis.se. If you recieved your vaccine outside of the EU there is no way to currently get a vaccination certificate in Sweden and you can therefore not participate in events with more than 100 attendants. Persons who for medical reasons are unable to get vaccinated must be able to provide a medical certificate instead, as seen here
