Yale Daily “News.” In case you haven’t figured it out, Kim Jong Un isn’t actually visiting New Haven as we “reported” yesterday. Thanks for playing along — back to the real stuff.
Shh — it’s a secret. Several juniors are going to be preoccupied tonight doing who-knows-what during the collective debutante that is pre-tap night. Congrats on coming out into society, 2016.
Blue beacon. As part of the Students for Autism Awareness at Yale’s (SAAY) day-long campaign for World Autism Awareness Day, Harkness Tower will be lit up in blue come nightfall. Also on tap are discussions with some of Yale’s leading autism researchers and an art exhibition in the Woolsey Rotunda.

The gamble paid off, earning the former math major $57,198 that night, good for the fourth-highest single-game total in show history.
Think you know it all? In a Wednesday article on Endgadget, psychology professor Frank Keil spoke on his finding that the volume of information available online has made people overestimate how knowledgeable they really are. Sounds more like a Harvard problem.
