Rush Rush

Because I didn't get to meet the TFR class last Friday, I took them through a whirlwind of greedy algos and backtracking, with stops on Huffman codes, knapsack 0-1, and revisiting brute force methods. Left n-Queens for Tuesday. I wonder if the backtracking method was clearer in the analogy, or in the reconstruction? I will ponder giving them more algos next meet.
