What came first? The joke or the laughs.
Seemingly a trivial answer, yeah? But think about it. If we had never learned to laugh, how did we know how to respond to the first joke?
I mean, that question can be answered for a specific case. What came first, the bad joke or the laughs? Clearly, the bad joke did, because the other one never did come. But the general problem is the hard one. It’s probably NP hard, right after traveling salesman, vertex cover and marriage.
And don’t worry if you don’t understand what NP hard problem is. Trust me, noone does.
Clearly, I should stop doing so much leetcode. That’s too tempting but currently I’m in the 18569000th position in this rat race and Imma totally win one day.
I’m not even joking.
