Prof. Leong likes to thank Rachel, Afiqah and Wu Chao for bravely volunteering for the Magic Card Trick (MCT) on Wed, for learning it quickly, and then helping me do the trick during tutorials.
I also thank Edwin for finding the solution, and also very sportingly agreeing to try out (successfully) as Asst #2.
And thanks also goes to James for taking pictures. I heard that he is always on the lookout for good photos for the USP. Kudos.
And I hope James will figure out the trick too (he chose NOT to listen to the explanation and wants to try to figure it out himself.
Good learning spirit
!
Lastly, I hope everyone enjoy the Magic Card Trick.
Did you like how simple Math-CS has be
re-purposed
