Interesting stuff.  He's missed one really neat algorithm for finding all the
words that contain a selection of letters, and there's a couple of interesting
features of his discussion about generating secure permutations that bear on
generating any random sequence.  I'll tell you what:

Let's try a "Favourite Algorithm" night.  Come and tell everyone about some
clever algorithm that you really like, something really intrinsically neat.
Duff's Device, red-black trees, Dijkstra's Algorithm, Burroughs-Wheeler
Transform, even quicksort or binary searches are welcome!  Being able to
implement the algorithm in a programming language is considered a bonus.

See you all on Thursday!

Have fun,

Paul
