mit: the love, the hate

The folks in charge of 6.046 totally put the equivalent of "p=np?" on our problem set this week. They note, "This part is optional. Solving this part does not exempt you from solving the previous parts of this question. A complete and correct solution will, however, impress the 6.046 staff, will have a positive impact on your grade, and may come with a monetary reward."

Always nice to know expectations are set good and high... and that solving one of the great unsolved problems of computer science doesn't get you out of the rest of the p-set. :p
