NASPP To Do List

Pinball and ASC 718
I recently had an opportunity to visit the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, CA. (BTW, way fun, if you ever happen to be in Alameda with some kids you need to amuse.)  And what should I be surprised to discover there? That’s right, a Monte Carlo simulation in action (video below)!  Just add some stock prices to those bumpers, pull the ball pin a couple of hundred thousand times (as many plays as you can manage for just $15 a day, $7.50 if you make your kid do it), and you’ve got yourself a Monte Carlo simulation on the cheap.

Want to know more about how the Monte Carlo simulation works?  Don’t miss the session “Tour de Monte Carlo: Bringing Clarity to the ‘Black Box’” at the 23rd Annual NASPP Conference.
