Credit:

Up to 40 extra credit points.

General instructions

Answer as many (or as few) of the following questions as you like. (Notice, however, that you can receive at most 40 extra-credit points.) You may write out your answers by hand or using a word processor or other program, but please submit hard copy (in my mailbox in the department office is fine). If the problem asks you to write code (either MIPS assembler or C/C++), please also submit a copy of your code by e-mail, as described in Submitting Source Code by E-mail.
