Hello friends!
Hope your week was great. It's been a rough week politically in the US, and I hope this newsletter can at least give you a small bit of relief from it.

Something that interested me this week
This week I saw a bunch of different people from my past, out of the blue. A friend from high school + college visited, then later at the grocery store I saw an old intern friend from several years ago, and while working at a cafe, a high school friend I hadn't seen since I graduated served my tea! It's a small world after all. I tried looking up some statistics of running into people you know randomly, and it's
actually fairly high.
Anyway. It was a really, really rough week in the news in the US. I've had a hard time logging in to Twitter and emails and seeing all of the hard-to-read headlines. All I can really say about it right now is: vote, stop hate when you see it, and log off regularly to give yourself a break.
Interview question of the week
Last week I had you produce a list of numbers that were a product of primes less than a given number n. Aditya wrote up his solution in Java
here!
This week's question:
Given a set of numbers -50 to 50, find all pairs that add up to a given sum.
Extra credit: Do this question in less than O(n^2)! Can you do it in O(n)?

Joke
Today I found out my toaster isn't waterproof. I was shocked!
That's all for now, folks! Have a good week and fun Halloween. Be safe, make good choices, and wave back at babies who wave at you.
