Hello, world!
I hope you had a great week! Mine was pretty stressful (big project at work, plus the start of grad classes), but really good. Let's get scootin!

Something that interested me this week
I started my first courses for my master's degree this week! My favorite thing I've learned about so far are
Raven's Progressive Matrices. It's an aptitude test from the 1930s that is completely visual (no verbal or reading elements are in it), and is pretty fun to try out. The first part of the course is called Computational Psychometrics, which is the design of computational agents that can take the same kind of tests that humans do when they are tested for intelligence or knowledge or aptitude. So, you guessed it: My first homework assignment is to build an AI agent that can solve a set of those Raven's problems! I'm terrified and not entirely sure how to start (they're all SO different), but luckily I have a few more lectures to go through that hopefully will help me through.

Interview question of the week
Last week I asked you some questions about pointers!
Kyle came through with some solid answers.
This week's question:
Given a number n, return all numbers < n whose digits are 1 or 5.
Example:
