8/10 | I, Edwin Liao, have detected invaders from the future attempting to steal my extra credit. I've hidden it so that me, and only me, can have it. No CS 61BL students will ever find the extra credit as long as I am in control! (Or as long as no one learns too much about me and my secrets.) Muahahaha...! |
