With 8 shots, we're supposed to tell a story with a twist. I actually had a different idea, but it's more difficult to execute. This is inspired by the mahjong addicts in my block. The guy here who's the lead, he's also one.
The story goes:
It's late at night in Sheares Hall. Everyone is asleep already (this is fictitious because no matter how late/early it is, there will still be enough people awake to 1. pond girls 2. play DOTA 3. play mahjong 4. do whatever/make noise) except for this one room where the lights are still turned on. Upon investigation, it is found that the person in this room is still up (studying?). He looks deep in concentration. (Anyway, you're supposed to think he's mugging hard.) Suddenly, he has this eureka moment! Like he just solved a really tricky and difficult problem. He grabs his calculator and all his notes, runs down the corridor to the lounge and finds 3 other people for a game of... MAHJONG. Because he's found a sure-win method through his calculations, he wins big. (That's why the other 3 players look so unhappy and one is even cradling his head.)
Sadly, a lot of people cannot get my twist. I think even if I photoshop the word 'Probability' on the spine of the book, it still might not be clear enough. I might change the 4th photo to one that zooms in on what he's writing so people can see that he's solving the probability of mahjong (in a not so obvious way). Of course, I don't think you actually can use probability to solve mahjong, right? Quite a long shot. ):
