Video of the Day

Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Logical problem of the day

In the very fine movie My Cousin Vinny, the judge who has a diploma from "Yale University" (played by the actor Fred Gwynne, who went to Harvard), tries to prove the defense lawyer, Vinny Gambino (played by Joe Pesci), to be a fraud. I have realized that actually, it is the judge who is a fraud. Explain.

CS 201 Video Contest

In the tradition of the racket/beat it song we have a song for Turing Machines: Would It Be Computable? to the tune of "Wouldn't It be Loverly?" from My Fair Lady.

You are invited to create a music video for this song. Here are the rules:

The winning submission will receive 10 homework points for each member of the team.
Runners-up will receive 5 homework points for each member of the team.
Each team may have up to 4 CS 201 students. Non-CS 201 students may also contribute, but they would not receive any points.
CS 201 students may be on at most one team.
If there are multiple submissions, we will have a vote in class to select the winner.
Submissions are due by midnight April 1st.
If you are planning to submit a video, send me a note with the members of your team.
