    Once I put the trash out late at night. A wild looking dog challenged me for the can.

    The easiest way to scramble questions is to use the same data structures you would use for sorting them.
    If you really want to mess things up, then scramble the answers.

  19. Re:Generalized Sudoku is NP-complete on Problem-Solving Bacteria Crack Sudoku · · Score: 1

    Although the meaning does change a bit, you can still apply big-O to a computation on more than one processor. Obviously with exponentially many processors, an NP problem can be solved in polynomial time. On other hand, using O(n^2) (or some other polynomial) bacteria to solve an NP-complete problem in polynomial time would be an interesting result.

    But will they publish their results?
