Isn't is a bit sexist that they use a good looking actress instead of one of the creators doing it herself? I wonder why that is

Also strong recommendations: A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell (himself also more than worthwhile a read!)

And I'm one of those who think it is an absolute shame that nearly nobody nowadays reads the old Greeks and Romans. There is so much wisdom in their works. Read not only Epicurus I say, read them all! My personal favorite is Epictetus

Oh dear US citiziens...as a European reading things like this is hilarious. Here it doesn't matter what High School you attend, you go to any university you want because basically everyone is free and with no need to apply. Nobody ever asked me about my HS Diploma or my university grades. In the end the only thing that matters is what you can do/know (global truth).

I strongly recommend that you read some Epicurus, Epictetus and Seneca ;) Start with Senecas "On the Happy Life"
Re:Project Metis -a CS/NON-CS puzzle challenge

I created this with hope to bring some joy to people who are not only interested in CS subjects but also other fields. People who enjoy puzzles/riddles/crypto challenges. You'll learn something from all fields of science, math, art, literature and history. I hope you will work together with others and in the process maybe make some friends. Have fun :)
