23: All first time participants, facilitators knowing Game of Life and supporting the global event

In this episode I am answering Lars' questions:
  • Any problems when all participants are first-time Coderetreat participants?
  • Any problems when all participants have never heard of the Game of Life?
  • Is it required to solve the Game of Life before facilitating a Coderetreat?
  • During (pre Covid) Global Day of Coderetreat, which activities support the global event?
