Edit | Oh, I've already mastered time travel. Just stick your antigravity boots in a microwave and set it on the highest setting.
However, I could never figure out how to get the anti-gravity thing working again. That'd be a good project for you.
(And if you want a serious answer, I suggest WPI's Frontiers program. It's the one I went to, and it was generally awesome.) |

Total Posts: 2007 | Yeah, I was mostly suggesting those as starter projects, but now that you've given away one of them, it shouldn't take more than a week to get both the others done, they're really quite simple. Other suggestions, I'd have to say the National Deficit is a decent challenge, as is AI. Building an interstellar rocket can be cool too; my first one went to alpha centauri, but I bet you could do better, I only had a few days. One that's really stumped me for a while is how to make Windows virus-proof. If you can do that, you'll be crowned the king of impossibilities :D .
BTW Jc, I got an e-mail from WPI a few weeks back, apparently they liked my PSAT scores. It looks like a great school from what I've seen on their letters/website. I'm glad you've chosen to go there. |
