I Never Thought I would Say This… Commenting By Minors

October 8th, 2007 by Angsuman Chakraborty

One implied restriction on commenting on this site: I will allow commenting by a minor so long it it appropriate.

What makes this article interesting is that several people came up with better ideas and very thought provoking comments. If you are a puzzle enthusiast, you will surely enjoy the article; if not for the article but more importantly for the alternative solutions proposed. They excel in many cases the original solution; they also provide lots of original thoughts. If I like anything as much as simple thoughts, it is original thoughts.

My public profiles on 9 popular social networking sites:

  • LinkedIn - I have started adding my friends to this. Found some old IITians from this network. Also was able to find some old friends.
  • Pownce - Just started…

  • Ryze - I was one of the early adopters, haven’t used lately. It has lots of details about me.
  • Twitter - I frequently update it these days. Feel free to add me to your list.
  • Facebook - Requires a free login.
