Chong Shangguan gave a talk on the hat guessing game on graphs at the Discrete Math Seminar
On June 27, 2023, Chong Shangguan (上官冲) from Shandong University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the maximum number of colors of hats so that at least one of the players can correctly guess his or her hat color while only seeing the colors of their neighbors on a graph. The title of his talk was “the hat guessing number of graphs.”
