 Welcome to Computer Science E1. My name is David Malin, and this is the little special something after exam one. So you can see that there's something a little intimidating going on if we have four empty chairs. I've just asked you to write down questions and answers with your names on them. But this is all meant to be in good fun. It's a time-honored tradition in E1 to conclude exam one in this way. And in this way, I mean that we need to fill these seats. In fact, we need a fifth volunteer as well. Just to make things interesting, I won't even tell you what you're volunteering for quite yet. But I need one volunteer to play the role of a Vanna White of sorts. This is a non-speaking role. It is a twirling role, a standing role, and you must write things on the board. But beyond that, no one need ever know which questions you do and don't know answers to. Would anyone like to fill this very important role? Yes, we have our Vanna Whites come on up. In just a moment, I'm going to ask our Vanna White for tonight to jot down the first of a few tidbits on the screen. But first, I now need to fill the four seats. These, unfortunately, are speaking roles. However, you may come up with a buddy. We need two teams of two so that you can take the pressure off yourselves a little bit by telling us later, insisting later, if you don't get some question right, that it's the other guy. So with that said, do I have two volunteers who would like to fill two of these chairs? I'm sorry? Is it worth anything on the exam? Is it worth anything on the exam? We shall see how it goes. How about it? Two volunteers. It's always hardest to volunteer for how about? We have one volunteer come on down and a second volunteer. Excellent. Now we need volunteers three and four. I'm sort of separating them here arbitrarily. This role is just as scary as the previous two roles. But I need two more volunteers. Two more volunteers. Is that a little? Yeah? Timid, yes? I think the names of this is. That's OK at this point. But do take your choice of seats. We need one more volunteer. Here we go. All right, we have our five volunteers at this point. This is a time-honored tradition, as I said. And what you're about to see is our own little variant on. That was not nearly dramatic enough since the volume was far too low. This is a time-honored tradition in E1 when we have. So we do have three teams, in fact. Previous to tonight's exam, the three teaching fellows were kind enough to volunteer of their own accord to take on the role of team number three. What I'll need our Venna White to do in just a moment is to inscribe on the board here the names that each of these three teams are about to choose for themselves. So we'll start with the teaching fellows. What would you like your name to be inscribed as up here on the board? The TS. The TS. Clever choice. How about our middle team? By what name would you like to go tonight? OK. Group A. Group A. Further impressive. And our final team? We're Steve. Steve. OK. So we have Steve versus Group A versus the teaching fellows. Well, needless to say, the questions for this game have come from you. To keep things simple, we will ask things in the form of questions rather than asking things in the form of answers and expecting questions back. But we have chosen the following five categories from which to draw our questions. That first category tonight is Bitter, referring, of course, to our first category, Bits or Bites. Our second category tonight will be Disc, Dat, or the other thing. All right, clever. Thank you. My role tonight is clearly to be witty. Round three, or category three, is Spam. Category four tonight is going to be the Worldwide Weight, referring, of course, to the Worldwide Web. Spam referring, of course, to our email category. And finally, Exam 1 being the fifth of our categories. We're going to proceed now to Single Jeopardy. Prior to this game, we flipped coins, and Steve won the coin toss. So it will first be up to Steve to select one of these categories, which again are up top there, or also enumerated here at left in more real terms. Steve, how would you like to begin? Spam for $1,000. High rollers here. And for $1,000, your question is, what is an email? To anyone, oh, of course, in Jeopardy, we have no buzzer. See, I've done this too long. We have no buzzers, of course. So Vanna's job will also be to judge whose hand in any of the groups goes up first. The moment a hand goes up, though, you have committed your group, whether Steve number one or Steve number two knows it or not, to answer that question. There's no going back on the hand being raised. If you missed the question, you'll, of course, lose $1,000 points in this case. If you get the question right, you'll, of course, gain $1,000 in this case. With that said, Steve, your question for everyone, in fact, the first to raise their hand, and now this is quite the setup, what is an email? Electronic mail. Electronic mail. So now, of course, the audience, since you wrote the questions, you're going to play the judges. Is that correct? Wait, we're not going to get any applause from the audience. Hang on. I am entirely self-sufficient. I think the T.S. have just earned themselves $1,000. And control the board. Ray, Dan, and Ray in this column. T.S., what category would you like next? Exam one for just $200. And your question is, why was the exam so disappointing? Anyone? Well, it wasn't too hard. It wasn't too hard. Now, the audience's answer was because it was old-fashioned pen and paper rather than computer-based. Audience, I think we have to take away the $200 from missing the question. So we're down to $100, but they're still in the lead with $800. They still have control of the board. Roman and team, what category would you like next? Bitter for $600. Bitter for $600. Your question, your bidder for $600, are, and again, the first hand to go up. I've never seen this game. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. This is the $200 question. So you can simply erase this and make it $800 for having lost that game. My apologies. For $600 to go up is, how many bits are in a byte? Although, how did I read the question? You said how many bits. I actually asked the question backwards. It was meant to be a trick question in parentheses. This dude wrote tricky. The question was actually supposed to be how many bytes in a bit, which would have been 1-8. But of course, since my brain reversed it, it is, in fact, 8 bits in a byte. So that is correct for $600. And around us, you can control the board. See what would you like next? Bites for $600. Bitter for $400. How many bytes are in one bit? 1-8. OK, this time the answer is none. A byte is larger than a bit. But I think we can give them in on a second. That would be $400. And control the board goes to group A. What would you like? World Wide Web. OK. World Wide Web for? 400. $400. Your question is about the World Wide Web. Can you access the web without a computer? Yes. The answer is yes. In fact, audience, via what means can you access the web today without a computer? For a P2P. Cell phone, PDA, and other such devices. Well, I think we'll give another $46. I'm sorry, $800. $48? $800 as well. It actually doesn't matter, since I randomly choose the questions anyway. But great, I'm done. Your question is related to secondary storage. And the question is, as follows, please name a piece of secondary storage, a USB key audience. If you're in the audience who are like, what's the USB key? Not the time to be wondering, yes, that would, in fact, qualify. USB key, of course, is a sort of flash memory that you can plug into the USB port of your computer. And it acts essentially like a hard drive. So that's $800 for Steve, a pathetic round of applause. Just that and the other thing for $600. For $600. Just pump your money as you have. And you're up to, let's see, a re-adding, so $1,800. So you have $1,800 to wager. And the category, again, is just about the other thing. And all $1,800. All $1,800. Now only these guys can answer the following question about secondary storage. I'm going to pick a good one here. It may be important to put your documents on a secondary storage device, like an external hard drive, even though they, on an external hard drive, even though they already exist on your hard drive, so I'll let you know. Steve, why are you so heavy? If I change that question here, it's probably been doomed here. So we're going to go instead with how much data can a typical CD store compare to a DVD? Just Steve. CD can hold 650 to 700 meg and the DVD 4.7 gig. Unless it's still there, you can get more. Woo. All right. Since it's left in single jeopardy, Steve, what category would you like? 200 spam. $200 in the spam category. And your question is, what is the incoming email server called, anyone? I saw Steve Kanto have an easy one. Still in control of the board, what would you like? $200 in the worldwide weight category. The question then is, what is a search engine? Specific. An internet program, a tagging program that is meant to search for web pages based on keywords. Audience. Audience license. Excellent. $200 in control. There are two more questions in single jeopardy. What would you like? No, no, no. All right. Exam one for $1000. Thank you. The question is, what was the answer to the binary math question at the end? No, seriously. It was repair the TS. The TS? It was one followed by an x amount of zero, where x, I think, was about 32. Well, the number, let's put it this way. The number of pages were in the question, in either the first number or the second number. That is the amount of zeros that followed the only one that was before those zeros. Audience. Audience ended up flipping until, eventually, just one bit tripled up all the way to the top. Much easier than last year's, makes me create a question, which I didn't complete because I became bored. Final question in single jeopardy. TS, what category would you like? Or a few hundred. Worldwide wait for $800. Your question on the web is, are the internet and the world with a cheesy big mic? But tonight, we have a nice wireless mic here, just picking up everyone up front. I'm going to start with the teaching fellows over here and just ask the teaching fellows what it's like to compete against your own students here tonight. It's a lot of fun, Alex. Audience, now is your opportunity to ask any question you'd like to get to know your participants here a little better? Any question at all? Any question? I'd like to say hi to my mom. Well, let's move on to group A. Now, group A, you're sort of sandwiched in between two teams here, you're doing much better than you. What's your strategy for round two? Everybody's hand faster. Right? Well done. Well, we're glad to have you. And finally, Steve, well, how do you feel about your significant lead here? Obviously, it reflects the genetic advantage of it. Well done. We're glad to have you as well. Let's move on now to double jeopardy. And double jeopardy, of course, all of the categories have been doubled in terms of their point value. We will conclude after double jeopardy, of course, with final jeopardy, with just a final question. But in double jeopardy, our categories will be just as wittily we hope as follows. Guys in red shirts, referring, of course, to not red hat, but that could work. This, of course, was the shopping for a computer category, but why guys in red shirts? CompUSA arms their sales staff with red shirts. It's category two. Sharks with lasers barring again from the awesome powers theme, and in this case, focusing on CDs and DVDs, otherwise known as optical technologies. In category three, we have SERPsUP, referring, of course, to the Worldwide Web, yet again. Finally, in category four, we have the Wizard of Oz, referring, of course, rather, this is my favorite, to software and operating systems. And finally, we have the staff-only category. We're going to proceed to fill the board here. And we are going to proceed to ask who had control last, which was the TS. We'll start us off by choosing a category. We're going to keep adding. So at this point, if you want to just keep a final tally, we don't need the differentials at this point. TS. Staff-only for $2,000. Staff-only, a dangerous category. OK, I like this. What are the first names of the staff members? And again, Dan, Roman, and Ray. And D. Audience, all right. They got it for $2,000. Now, group A, mind you, this is the last opportunity to raise those hands quicker than the other. So, Roman's team, what would you like? Got to go ahead. That was $2,000. Staff-only for $1,600. Staff-only for $1,600, stepping lightly here. We will have your question in this case be, where does, for $1,600, the question is where is at this point? $1,600. Where does Dan go to school? I'm afraid you lose the $1,600. The question's now up in the air for, I saw Group A's hand go up first. MIT. MIT is, in fact, correct. So Group A earns $1,600. And I'm afraid Steve's team loses the $1,600. But Dan, Group A, you're in control of the board. What would you like? Sharks with lasers for $2,000. Sharks with lasers for $2,000. And your question is, if I want to back up all the music I have stored on my PC in a way that takes up the least storage space, what sort of disks should I use? Steve, DVDs versus CDs? In fact, DVDs, because they hold so much more. For $2,000 out of the hole, back up to $4,200. Control the board. Time for just a couple more questions. The TS are clapping for you over there. What would you like? Surf's up for $2,000. Surf's up for $2,000. And your question about the web again is, your question is, your question is, your question is, why is it called the WWW Group A? Worldwide Web. Worldwide Web is, in fact, great for $2,000. Excellent control of the board. Time is running out. What would you like from the board? Guy's in red shirts for $800. Guy's in red shirts for $800. And your question is, your question is, your question is, do you plan to use the PC to play video games? Group A. I don't plan to play. OK, I guess we have to take it for $800. It was indeed a question about shopping for a PC. Final question, Group A. You're in control. Surf's up for $1,600. Surf's up for $1,600. Our final question in the Double Jeopardy Round. And your question is, what does DHCP stand for? Ray very casually raised his hand. Let me close the configuration for the audience. Audience? Audience like for $1,600. Now the TFs have pulled into a bit of a lead here. We have going into our final Jeopardy Round, Steve with $4,200, Group A with $4,800, and the TFs with $6,400. So it's still anybody's game, because the way Final Jeopardy works, of course, is the following. I, in a moment, am going to tell them the general category from which the one Final Jeopardy question will be drawn. They will then, on a piece of paper, have to commit themselves to a dollar value. When I then ask them the question, if they get it right, of course, they earn that dollar value. But if they get it wrong, they lose that dollar value. But they do not know how much the other teams have wagered. So therefore, it can still be anyone's game based on the outcome of this question. Question from the audience. Where are you reading that? Tell me, well, let us check our own website. And then the authorship of that week's jargon pulling up DHCP. Somebody wants to take those points away from you guys. And it is, in fact, dynamic host configuration protocol, all on up for having overlooked that typo in the jargon. Unfortunately, it was not an exam question. It is, in fact, dynamic host configuration protocol. So please tweak, and my apologies, your jargon sheet correctly. Minus 1,600 for me. Well, we're moving into final jeopardy. The category for final jeopardy tonight is going to be the following. To be or not to be. To be or not to be. Go ahead and jot down on your piece of paper how much of your $4,200 for Steve, $4,800 for Group A, or $6,400 for the TFs that you would like to wager on this question. Do we have a dollar amount on each person's paper? Take just a moment. I commit to a value. Realize this part is difficult for the audience to endure. Indeed. All right. I think the numbers have been penned. Your question, three teams, is the following. How do you represent the number 65,535 in binary? 65,535 in binary. Give them one more loop. I think we're going to need to have an answer while these folks finish writing their answer. I'm actually going to go down to the TFs. The TFs, of course, had $6,400. They decided to wager $3,201. And their answer was this, a sequence of... How many? They think a sequence of 16,1. So let's just... They've counted them several times. Moving on to the Steve crew. Seemed to be writing down 16,1s. They wagered $4,200. And I see a lot of zeros on the back, a couple of ones. They wagered $4,200. And Group A finally, wagered it appears $14,401. $14,401. $14,401. Because that does say $14,401. Which is well beyond your means right now. Your answer was... I'm not quite sure that's so true. It is, in fact, a sequence of 16,1s. We, of course, would not ask a particularly challenging question of that sort of magnitude. But it is, in fact, 16,1s because 65,536 is a number I've quoted several times in class, though perhaps it was over the head intentionally. But that is, in fact, the value 2 to the 16, the relevance of which is that when you discuss thousands of colors or the so-called 16-bit color, that was the number of colors that we said a monitor could, in fact, display. However, the number 65,535 is those 16,1s. Because, of course, when you count in binary, what number do you start counting at? Zero, not one. Counting at zero, the highest up you can get with that many bits is 65,535. A round of applause for all of our participants if we may. Thank you so much for partaking. We have on your way out the answer to an oft-asked question, which is what should I do, what can I do after computer science E1? This is the staff's subjective opinion on those courses that we think subsequent to computer science E1 you will have the requisite background for. They are available on the blue sheets by both windows. On your way out, we will see you next week.
