memoization 4 lyfe

I entered a programming competition teamed with uber-coder Thomas Norrie and robot/computer science powerhouse Shawn Tice. Having secured excellent teammates with with to hitch my metaphorical wagon, I felt that victory was imminent.

Until Sandbagging McSanderson Brian Muramatsu showed up.

Despite saying that he and his single teammate were “just there for fun”, “would probably leave after getting their first problem”, and “would most likely just play solitaire the entire time”, 4/5 of the way through the contest we found that they not only hadn’t left after completing their first problem, but they were our only competition, both of us having three problems complete and hurriedly working on a fourth.

Through creative placement of a laxative in Muramatsu’s coke and staying the hell out of Thomas and Shawn’s way, we were able to get our 4th and winning problem completed with only 3 minutes left in the competition.

With the $250 prize winnings it seems Christmas has come early.

  4. I’m afraid I never quite rose to pedestal level, even in my own mind! I wish I had referred to the book before I planted those radishes with the carrots, instead of afterwards.

  6. 375! Ouch. It is very easy to over-do the first quarter of a TT.Depending on the computer you use, consider displaying 3s and 180s average power, time, and HR for your race. Distance, speed, and average speed are pretty much irrelevant. Also remember that you probably shouldn’t see your threshold HR until the second half of the race.Better luck next time.

  9. Oye Krys, the rods pictured are the largest I’ve seen.For naturally straight hair I would suggest lightly misting each section with water, follow up with a holding spray, comb through then wrap around the rod.Bigger sections = looser, wavier curls
