Re: [s-d] MathNauts?

I think you're right, but I don't see why we can't just play the game
without any formal Rules, so long as there is no Pocket Calculator trophy. I
think that's the only thing tying MathNauts to the formality of anything
like a Contract. If we want the trophy, we'll have to propose something
formally at one point or another.
