I did not go to Caltech. But my advisor did, and he is a mathematician who attended Feynman's lectures on computation. (Again the breadth : a math Ph.D taking a course in theory of computation from a Physicist.)

Feynman's requirement for an A grade in the course was "prove something original". Someone timidly asked, "Well, what if we can't?" He replied: "Then I feel sorry for you." I wish my history were slightly different.

But you must be more discreet, I think. It's not wise to give intimate medical information to strangers who might not be medical experts. All the best for your future.

So did the course result in 20+ something new proofs for computational theory?

alternatively, not every participant got an A.
