ANSWER: Carl Sandburg Team B: What author of All the King's Men also won multiple Pulitzers? ANSWER: Robert Penn Warren Tossup: In one of this man’s poems, the title character is compared to "Roland’s ghost winding a silent horn." This author of "Mr. Flood’s Party" wrote another poem in which the speaker comes “out of a grave” to command the title character, "Go to the western gate." This author of "Luke Havergal" also created a "child of scorn" who was "born too late" and therefore "keeps on drinking." Another of his characters was watched by the "people on the pavement" and before he "went home and put a bullet through his head." Name this American poet of "Miniver Cheevy" and "Richard Cory." ANSWER: Edwin Arlington Robinson Mathematics: Numbers (All questions in this round are 20 seconds) Team B: Find the greatest common divisor of 132 and 242. ANSWER: 22 Team A: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. When the digits are reversed, the new number is exactly 18 more than the old number. What is the original number? ANSWER: 57 Tossup: The sum of the first n ones of these numbers is a perfect square. There are no known perfect numbers that can be described by this term. The integral, from negative to positive infinity, of a function described by this term is always zero. -

Yale School of Architecture Dean's Council
YALE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE DEAN’S COUNCIL Buenos Aires, Argentina March 9–14, 2014 INTRODUCTION Buenos Aires, the heritage of a universal periphery “I suspect that the birth of Buenos Aires is just a story; I deem her to be as eternal as water and air”. Jorge Luis Borges The Mythical Foundation of Buenos Aires, 1929 Borges’s allusion to the eternal nature of Buenos Aires and his doubts about the origin of the city, are a fne refection of its timeless identity. Buenos Aires is surrounded by a minimalist geography of water and land which strengthens the role of architecture as the only multi-form and exuberant physical variable, thus transforming it into a natural rather than cultural heritage. The world of Buenos Aires’ buildings is made up of leftovers of historical layers, either juxtaposed or superimposed. The concentrated, four hundred-year-old physical universe of Buenos Aires is like an architectural library of Babel or a labyrinth of styles representative of the Western World. It is forever a collage of historical and geographic variables, decanted from various cultural world centers and innumerable peripheries. 2 What remains today of the original “Big Village” are parts of the strict foundational grid and the noblest Andalusian-infuenced pieces that chronologically followed a mud and straw town. The last corner of the Spanish Empire—an impossible port called Trinidad and a wayward city called Buenos Aires—arose from an ambiguous tradition that received the contribution of diverse civilian and religious communities. When the baroque movement took over the continent and fourished into a Hispanic-indigenous fusion of cultures, the city was able to abstain from excesses.
