If you've ever wondered how the field of Computer Science came to be, this fantastic essay from high school student Ted has you covered. The penultimate commended entry in the 2021 Teddy Rocks Maths Essay Competition with @stedmundhall - now available to read at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile). The image depicts Turing's 'Halts' program which he used to solve the Halting Problem - is there a procedure by which you can determine if any input to the universal Turing machine will cause it to halt? The answer is a resounding no. #tomrocksmaths #algorithm #teddyrocksmaths

Loving the track 'Happy' from @tylerposey58 - great lyrics, and the dancing in particular is exceptional. I'm always happy when hanging out with friends, so here I am in New Orleans a few years ago taking part in the 'Wade Boggs Challenge' from @alwayssunnyfxx. I came a very respectable 2nd.
