Memories - a beautiful campus and an abstract - 27 years ago
I vividly remember that talk.
People were great! Added bonus: the campus and the nature were amazing.
I could recover my abstract from https://scholarworks.umt.edu/mathcolloquia/7/
So... about 27 years years ago:
Presentation Date 10-23-1997
Abstract A classical problem considered by Davenport asks for the number of occurrences of a certain pattern of quadratic residues and nonresidues among the set of integers modulo a prime p. We will take this problem as a starting point of an itinerary revealing the interplay between quasirandom structures over finite fields, definable subsets of finite fields, character sums and coding theory.

Are these the same proof?
In his blog, Timothy Gowers presents two proofs of the fact that the product of k consecutive positive integers is a multiple of k! and asks
"whether there is some sophisticated perspective from which it is possible to regard them as sort of the same".
There are many interesting answers from the readers, among them being Terence Tao.
