algorithms

i fell asleep on the couch last night, and when i woke up, decided to go to bed.  i found alan asleep, sitting up with his computer, and the lights were on.  so i turned off the lights, moved the computer, and decided not to bother him.

and then about 3 minutes later i realized that he didn't have his cpap on, and if i didn't make him put it on, he would end up snoring all night.  so i nudged him, "hey ... cpap".  he rolls over, groggily finds the mask and starts to put it on.  i figured he'd gotten it working and was about to fall asleep when i realized i didn't hear the machine going. 

apparently he was so tired, he started putting the mask on and didn't quite get it to his nose.  so i nudged him again, "hey ... your cpap isn't on".

his response?

"i can't figure out the algorithm ..."

HAHAHA.

i checked in the morning ... apparently he'd been thinking about this one problem when he was going to bed that he couldn't figure out.  haha...
