'A talk written before learning that minesweeper is NP-Complete'

By modelling minesweeper as a set of constraints, we can reveal new information by looking at how they interact with each other. Brief explanation of minesweeper, followed by explanation of constraints and how they can interact with each other, then audience participation to do a game of minesweeper as a group.

Fresh out of Uni, I started my journey in the world of work and was shocked to discover a distinct lack of hacky code and disgusting bodges! Come with me, let us explore a land where there's no such thing as a best practices - a place where exponential runtime is implied, and the real question is "why not?"
