Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series will go ahead on Tuesday 30th October 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.

Games everywhere!

Game theory is the science of strategic decision-making. Having its roots in the analysis of parlour games like poker, it developed in the 1940's into a full-fetched mathematical framework that proved extremely prolific in a number of scientific disciplines. Today, game theory is applied to everything from political problems, economics and human behaviour to the evolution of animals and the biochemistry of microbes. Even popular culture is full of references to game theory - just think of game shows like Golden Balls, or what The Joker does with the two ferries in The Dark Knight.

In this lecture, Prof. Thomas Pfeiffer will introduce you to this fascinating research field. Let the games begin!

The royal visit will shut vehicles out of parts of downtown Auckland on Tuesday afternoon with crowds expected.

- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Karanga Plaza in Wynyard Quarter for a stroll around 4pm on Tuesday.

- Wynyard Quarter will be closed to vehicles from 2pm on Tuesday afternoon. Roads would be reopened when crowds clear, Auckland Transport spokesman James Ireland said.

- If you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple, AT advised crowds to use public transport as parking in the area would be limited. Downtown, the Fanshawe Street car park or an open-air car park on Madden Street would be the closest options, it said.

- Normal timetables would operate on buses, trains and ferries but some buses would be diverted and stop closures would be in place, AT added. Buses including the 20 service, 75 service and CityLink service would experience detours. "Some delays can be expected," AT said. The bus stop at 63 Jellicoe Street would be closed and a temporary stop would be in place outside 55 Madden Street, AT said.

Other engagements planned for the royals on Tuesday include a 'welly-wanging' contest at Queen's Commonwealth Canopy on the North Shore between 11.45am and 12.45pm.

The couple will then head to Pillars, a charity that supports children with a parent in prison, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Following their stroll along the viaduct, the couple will attend a reception with Ardern held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum at 7pm. Read more here
