You may be referring to the version of this course that was taught by Luis von Ahn (the creator of reCAPTCHA and the founder of Duo Lingo), when he was a professor at CMU. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15251-s09/Site/Calendar/calendar.html https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15251-s... He liked to call the course "SOME Theoretical Ideas FOR Computer Science", and it was known to be a very popular (and difficult) course.

I didn't know LVA taught at CMU, rad! I did some digging and found the class: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~venkatg/teaching/15252-sp20/ https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~venkatg/teaching/15252-sp2... I enjoy that it is called "More Great Ideas in Theoretical Computer Science", like a sequel (...and 'some' being the prequel). I'm now eagerly awaiting the 'return of the jedi' installment.

  Ah, great! Seems like there was a tradition of having fun with the course title.
