It’s 9:30 p.m. on a Monday night, and you find yourself running from the Whitt to the MUB. You’re fresh from broomball and only have a change of clothes with you—you even left your phone in the dorm. You are eager to attend the first meeting of the UNH Young Economists’ Club, and you’ve written the room number on your hand: 131.

As you pass through the MUB, you notice how quiet it is: apparently not many people are around on Monday nights. You dash downstairs and into 131. And then you are pulled up short: you are the only one in the room. You wonder whether you misheard the meeting date. And then the door swings shut behind you.
