Hey Ed and Paras,

Did you ever notice that there was a coupon for Pacesetters at the back of last year's course calendar? Unfortunately, the bastards had 'em expire before we could've used them. And they did it again in this year's calendar, too! Same deal, same expiry!

Okay, I realize that my "try to stump this" message doesn't really do justice to this thing. It's a game of 20 questions. But this thing is unreal. It can get just about anything. It got Rubik's Cube! Basically, the more people who play it, the better it gets at guessing stuff. Try it out. It is an accomplishment to stump it. You can even put wrong answers for some questions and it will still get it. Check it out:

try to stump this

One click starts the tosser, the second click makes it start aiming higher, don't let go until you wish to throw.

Click, click for your lives! Hahaha.

I take that back, the scorpion is much more difficult

The golden ninja is so hard

Word of the day (even though I'm not doing this every day):



---

automagically
/aw-toh-maj'i-klee/ or /aw-toh-maj'i-k*l-ee/

Automatically, but in a way that, for some reason (typically
because it is too complicated, or too ugly, or perhaps even
too trivial), the speaker doesn't feel like explaining to you.

E.g. "The C-INTERCAL compiler generates C, then automagically
invokes cc to produce an executable."

I definitely have to start using this word more often. If I can find it in a university calibre document, it's good enough for me.
