Would you care to share the learning objectives you are fulfilling with pointer tricks in C? Or if it's just some extracurricular entertainment?

I'm teaching the class as a part of ESP's Splash @ MIT, a two-day educational outreach program. Thousands of middle and high school students swarm our campus just for this weekend, and MIT students/community/other teach whatever they want. I'm teaching this as a one-hour class, with two sections (that is, two times), for a bit of entertainment and to make this world a minimally more bug-free place... or something along those lines.

Pointer tricks are dirty and scare the elders. cjtenny is playing the childless uncle who talks about things no parent would. Kids that age will eat it up :-)
