Jacob Cohen is a Stanford student, New York Times-published puzzle constructor, and long-ago (2014-16) Epsilon Camper! As a counselor at Camp Lemma (hosted at Proof School, where he graduated from) he once got "tau-ed" (that's when you get pied by two pies at once) and ran an activity called "Jacob Lies to Campers". In his spare time, he stares contemplatively into the distance and writes short bios in third person.
