There is something awfully unnerving about a place that has lodged, entertained, and inspired people like Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Alan Turing to pursue their science and art. Oh, Hugh Laurie and John Oliver, too.

Working silently and individually they write down a sensible idea to solve the problem on the white card and a bizarre, crazy idea on the pink card. 4.
