When a hapless user visits my site well

muahahahahah

Sorry, just the thought of it

But when they do… boy do I have a trap waiting for them.

My wife calls me The Genius. I’m the guy she calls when her battery dies or when her instagram breaks like when it shows that random guy in her DMs, stupid bugs LOL

I digress. Alas, when a user lands on my page. My page wants to know exactly 2 things:

1. Why are you here and who are you

And 2. Can you produce a working solution to Pharoah’s Fortune

…those of you aren’t familiar Pharoah’s Fortune is an old chestnut little poem, a riddle if you will I like to ask candidates and so far nobody’s solved it

And the reason nobody has solved it is Pharoah’s Fortune is a very tricky problem. It’s not something you can “solve” per se it’s more like you arrive there.

So far no one has solved it. They all fall for the same trick! It is of course what separates those who write elegant C versus those write poor quality JavaScript.

So I always say to my students to keep an open mind because you never know who - or should I say where you’re talking to.

I’m bookish.
