shit, i should be more careful when i go to the toilet and leave my laptop on the desk.
The problem was he left his laptop nearby his friend, who should have been watching. The dude who nicked it just stepped up smoothly and removed the laptop without anyone raising their heads.

Hopefully it was the dude who nicked my friends laptop
One part of me would like to shoot the thief.
One part of me wants to laugh at the deserved loss of the laptops due to negligence.
I'm paranoid or I'm just alert all the time.

When do people usually start studying for finals?
Week 0, what, you learn nothing throughout the whole semester?

now would be a good time to start, but I usually try to get all outstanding assignments out of the way first. I can't stand the thought of outstanding assignments while studying...
Kill them all.

Computational Algorithms 101:

The university timetabling/scheduling problem is NP-Hard meaning its highly time and resource intensive. With hundreds, if not thousands, of classes and only a finite amount of hours, there's no easy way to make considerations for every single person. Although there are some algorithms out there that attempt to solve the problem, from what i know, they just find a "good" solution but not necessarily the "best".

And that'll be the end of the lesson folks.

I was in my intro econometrics lecture and my phone went off twice, playing my phoenix wright: ace attorney 'cornered' theme (its that music in the game when you're in the courtroom and you're just about to nail the crime on someone)

It's very interesting, involves statistics and even psychology.

I think a prime example is if you have 3 clowns set up with balloons on top their head.

A B C

Say clown A has a 70% chance of hitting, B a 40% chance, C 25%.

Now, at the exact same time, the clown has to choose which balloon to pop and eliminate the other clown.

Game theory brings this down to psychology, B and C will BOTH aim for A as with any game - you try to get rid of the biggest threat first. Or, maybe A B C will conduct different strategies?

Pretty much like that - I read it in a book called "Archimedes Revenge" - have a go, pretty simple but cool book.

I think he meant the subject. All comm students would have already touched on game theory in econ.

micro1 had a very basic game theory introduction, afaik it was only the prisoner's dilemma. In micro2 there's a little more depth (graphically representing cournot and bertrand equilibriums or something), but econ2114 the actual game theory class is pertty awesome tbh.
