Musings of the dusted mind....
Haven't been blogging for the last couple of days cause of obvious mundane reasons. I was going thru one of my course books yesterday and it talks of an algorithm which it says behaves like a person "trying to get on top of Mt. Everest while a thick fog is on and the person has amnesia"!. Find it quite amusing cause there was a theorem that followed it to prove that the algo works very effeciently on various problems. Thought I'd mention it to you people. Other than that, nothing else looks bright in the near future of mine. I was with a couple of my friends in the library today. They were preparing for their exam due in the evening and their prof had allowed them to get along a one-page material which they could refer during the test and these people actually filled out the concise version of about 100 pages of a text book on one page with a pencil; minimising their fonts which you'd actually need a magnifying lens to read thru. Something like using MS Word with font 0.5! Guess this is what they call means to an end.. Ya, so we were discussing really unnecesary topics and we ended up at a point - Could we insure our exams? Real waste of grey matter but its something you could thin about I guess. We could insure our exams - like $1000 for passing the test. If you do well, OK lets study for the next test, but if you flunk the test - bingo!you have a grand in your account. Waiting for winter to set in so that I can start using my winter-wear. I am tired of these half-sleeved t-shirts.

yeah i find it amusing too.. unless it implies that on mt. everest, what you see/remember doesn't make a diff so its better you don't. probly will spur u endlessly on anyway.. to the summit! hence working efficiently on such sort of problems.. :p
guess ur pals are pros at making best use of whatz allowed, huh?! ;) font_size=0.5 is BAD! with my eyes, i wudn't be able to read any of it! n' yeah, nice thought abt insuring exams. perhaps the premium wud go up depending on ur IQ or somethin'! :~|
