Almost 20 years after, recurrence annihilators still blow my mind.

I wish I was a better student, but there was at least 1 bar with $1 drinks on any given night.

Woah, thanks for bringing that up. Hahaha, I'm on the job market post-grad school so that's super helpful.

Some of my fondest memories are going to Murphys or the Illini inn after finishing a long MP with my group of friends.

This is great stuff, thanks for sharing. Currently working through an algorithms class at CMU, and I haven’t yet encountered the idea of a recurrence “annihilator”. Cheers :)
