Hull CS50 Was Awesome

UnFair Quiz Survivors

Well, HullCS50 was the most fun. I took a bunch of cameras with plans to take a bunch of pictures. Didn’t take one. I was too busy chatting to folks and showing off the robots and bits and bobs. We had 40 or so people embedded in carbonite, lots of “Badge Answer Buddies” and even some slow-motion Scalextric crashes - including one which took out the phone filming it. The quiz was universally acknowledged as extremely unfair, so mission accomplished there too.

Many thanks to the “elves” who kept the show on the road. Thanks also to the Computer Science Systems team who went above and beyond to get everything working and the folks in the Canham Turner building who provided great support and lovely food. Thanks also to the sponsors: Black Marble, RJJ Software, and Visr-vr. Without your contributions we wouldn’t have had an event.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time. One question that kept coming up was “When is the next one?”. We’ll have to work on that.
