+# magic tricks revealed
+
+## assignment 1
+
+all done on paper, old school
+
+## assignment 2
+
+### task 1
+
+written in [typst](https://typst.app/).
+
+made a 2-column research-style document, but with a [dracula color theme](https://draculatheme.com/)
+
+my use of dracula is inspired by the [ride apl](https://github.com/dyalog/ride) editor
+
+also learned to use the [algorithmic](https://typst.app/universe/package/algorithmic/) package for writing pseudocode
+
+### task 2
+
+back to pen and paper
+
+### task 3 & 4
+
+whiteboard at [PVV](https://www.pvv.ntnu.no)
+
+task 4 was particularly inspired by [uiua](https://www.uiua.org) `under`, which is similar to linear algebra diagonalization $P M P^-1$. it is also similar to general algorithmic reduction, where solving `A` to obtain `B` is difficult, then reducing `A` to `a`, solving `a` to obtain `b`, then doing the inverse transformation that got you to `a` on `b` to obtain the wanted solution `B`. i.e. transform from co-domain to domain via duality-magic that may or may not work out, solve it there and recover the answer.
+
+## assignment 3
+
+### task 1
+
+implemented the push-relabel algorithm in [odin](https://www.odin-lang.org) to gain a better understanding of it and also learn more odin. then just analyze the numerical patterns that show up. brute force, yay!
+
+### task 2 (miracle-submission)
+
+i injured my dominant right hand (it's good again now) so i wrote this assignment mirrored with my left hand. why? for fun, and i have practiced writing mirrored with my left hand before. it is significantly easier than writing the normal way with my left hand, in my opinion. i included a mirrored image for readability, which indeed made it easier to spot the inequality error i figured i had made.
+
+i heard leonardo davinci took all his notes mirrored with his left hand, which inspired me to learn this fun skill once upon a time, and now it just happened to come in *hand*.
+
+### task 3
+
+had no more motivation so i just looked up the solution on wikipedia and interpreted it
+
+## assignment 4
+
+i originally didn't intend to complete this one, but here we are
+
+### task 1
+
+did a little bit of it after the lecture, but didn't finish that
+
+### task 2
+
+what's the next step after all these weird handins? a flow chart of course
+
+made in [excalidraw](https://www.excalidraw.com)
+
+### task 3
+
+haven't learned the necessary curriculum for this yet, and who knows if i will
