Adventures in categorization

For a while, TGOG has all joked about all of the different ways our friends can be categorized. It seems like no matter how you split us down the middle, you can always put a label on either half. We started out with the obvious ones, like Jews and Non-Jews or Victorians and Non-Victorians, but I endeavored to make an all-inclusive list on a long car ride with Emma and TGOB members Patrick and Matthias, with long-distance help from Megan. Thanks to the combinatorics skills endowed to me by Mrs. Cornet, I listed out every possible division of TGOG and we managed to categorize them all.

The final list:

Gracie Megan Emily / Jenna Stephanie Emma: Victorians
Megan Jenna Gracie / Emily Stephanie Emma: scavenger hunt groups, also have had bangs at some point since childhood
Emily Jenna Emma / Gracie Megan Stephanie: have older siblings

Megan Jenna Emma / Gracie Emily Stephanie - ever been to Spain
Gracie Megan Emma / Emily Jenna Stephanie: Jews and non-Jews, BC Calc, AND middle names beginning with M
Megan Emily Jenna / Gracie Stephanie Emma: Mr. Griffith's advising
Megan Emily Stephanie / Gracie Jenna Emma - lettered in varsity sports
Megan Emily Emma / Jenna Gracie Stephanie - ever been vegetarian
Megan Jenna Stephanie / Emma Emily Gracie - dated someone from a different state
Gracie Jenna Emily / Megan Stephanie Emma - have only 1 dog

We can't wait to divide our next epic scattergories game in new and interesting ways.
