  reports you've submitted (anonymously).  Let me know if you object to
  me sharing yours.
* Today's dumb question: Which Tutorial will be the most popular:
  "The Biology of Pokemon" or "Lord of the Rings"?

### Upcoming work

    * [Rubric](../project/rubric.txt) available for your perusal.
    * Send me code, instructions for running, and report.
    * The parts of the report are specified in the rubric.  I'd expect
      an introdution that describes the problem, a description of 
      the key algorithms you wrote, a description of what you did with
      the results of those algorithms, and some conclusions about what
      you might have learned.  Four sections, 1-2 pargraphs each.
