Welcome to Mudd, land of mystery, magic, and math jokes. Besides the friendly face of our receptionist, Pat, here's one of the first things you'll see in the admission office, something to while away the minutes as you wait for your tour or interview: our clock. Thyra (the dean) bought us the clock as an office Christmas present, and it's proved quite a conversation starter. It's a relief to me that even our math-savviest students are still trying to figure out a couple of the concepts. I just gave up and read the cheat sheet, and now it is the great dream of my life that someone will ask me about modular arithmetic or Cauchy's Convergence Test. The clock is from Uncommon Goods and is called, appropriately enough, the "Geek Clock."
