They also had a difference engine.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That technology exhibit is incredibly cool. They've got an Enigma! Several of them! A three-wheel and a four-wheel! Though the "Discover the Internet!" section needs some major work. (Or, y'know, an internet connection that actually works.)

Oh, and one of the displays talks about actuaries.

Where is this actuary exhibit? Do they also have an exhibit on the history of paint drying?

Hee. My assistant's fiance is a chemical engineer, and her job could literally be summed up as watching paint dry.

It's not an entire exhibit. Rather part of the information age exhibit has a display that includes adding machines and the like and actuaries are mentioned.

American History Museum. I figured I needed to see that place before we outlawed it.
