    Had an assignment to write a routine algorithm or AI/MLey solution back in my university days. Mine was a broken GA that failed to do anything except pick random routes every time but keep track of the shortest route it’d seen…

    … but it was fast enough that I could run 100k random iterations and pick an answer better and faster than a bunch of well coded solutions. Called it stochastic and nailed an explanation, pretty much full marks were had that day.
