Technical Fellow, and longtime PDC veteran, John Shewchuk join Mike and Jennifer to talk about his session at PDC.  What’s the scoop?  He’s going to explain how easy it is to take your apps, using Microsoft’s collection of services, to make them better and easier to build than ever.  What’s that you say?  Listen as John shows his glee for this year’s PDC as we usher in the next generation computing platform!  Are you really going to miss out on this event?  Plus, after lots of begging and pleading, Mike let’s Jennifer deliver this week’s Hard Hat Challenge as Liberace listens in.

That is the format of the show.  A timer is set when it rings the show is over. no matter where they are in the discussion.

Speaking of the challenge, the longest distances I could go so far were between 31 and 52 hops depending on the assumptions. And that’s after quite a bit of rather contrived coding to eliminate loops. This one seems to be more difficult than the previous two (unless I’m heading in the wrong direction J ). I wonder what I’m going to do tomorrow lunchtime… J J J

Well, I  found the three sentences that Jennifer said while showing the picture, really said it all Wink Wink There was one word in each sentence that really gave the whole thing away...

I think I know what the words are (there are only three object nouns in the sentences). I just can't get the point Smiley or I got it, but I didn't realize that. BTW, I appreciate you apparently knowing the answer and letting others to solve the problem. I think I'll give up on that one, although I can't get rid of a feeling that I'm almost there...

I think this challenge "smells" a little bit of the eighties in more than one way...
