It's the holiday season, and Pete and Noah are getting into the festive spirit by looking at the math behind a favorite Hannukah game.

Whatever traditions you and your family look forward to at this time of year, we promise a lively and interesting time as we take this topic for a spin. Seasons Greetings!
