agreed, computers are good at solving math problems or running Turing machines (since they are them). You would be better off with a turing test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test) that only a human can answer - and if any does get a computer to solve it you get them to start a company because they have solved a fundamental computing problem.
- cperciva 18y agoComputers are good at simulating Turing machines. Computers aren't good at determining whether Turing machines halt; in fact, it is impossible for a computer to determine in the general case whether a Turing machine will halt.
- rythie 18y agoFair enough, though it might have the effect of not letting humans in either ;-)
