IPhO 2012 - Rakvere & AHAA


View of the medieval Rakvere castle
My blog posts are not going to make a classic report on IPhO 2012. After all, the latter if foremost a physics competition while I don't have any photos of the actual competition - no, not even a single one. First of all, we weren't allowed to bring anything but the officially approved calculator and some pencils to the actual competition. Attempting to do otherwise would almost certainly result in disqualification of the whole team, which would be... well, you name it. Secondly, had I taken the camera with me, I should have left it on the bus for the whole duration of the competition. Again, it would only be an additional concern.

Anyway, this post shows photos from medieval Rakvere Castle and from AHAA science centre.
Games they used to play back in those days.
Unlike in Slovenian castles/museums, visitors of Rakvere Castle are allowed and even invited to try out the displayed items

And off to colors now as here are some portraits:
