Teamwork and Algorithms • Find a partner (or, if necessary, two partners) • First exercise: Modified googlewhacking. • The goal of googlewhacking is to find a query using two words (no quotation marks and found within Google’s dictionary) that return a single, solitary result. • For today we suggest you find three two-word queries with the smallest total of “search results” (same rules as above) • What approaches did you try? How did they work?
Teamwork and Algorithms • Second exercise: Wikipedia games. • Use Google to look up “wikipedia game” and go to the games. Try the “least clicks” and “six degrees of Wikipedia” games. • Now see if you can figure out how to come up with a Wiki search path that requires the most clicks and/or a five degree Wiki search. • What approaches did you try? How did they work?
Teamwork and Algorithms • Please submit the information required for this assignment on the CS192 class into RamCT to get full points for this class. • We’d love to see you at office hours on Friday. This is particularly important if you have not been making excellent progress on your major project or have any problems with it. • Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
