I had to chuckle at that. The whole this is so ridiculous and it's wonderful :D



The paper is part of the SIGBOVIK "conference" that takes intentionally funny computer science papers (of varying degrees of rigor) every year. This paper is in good company alongside "Aumann agreement by combat", "Survival in chessland" (an investigation of what chess piece you want to be to minimize your chance of being captured in a game), "NaN gates and flip FLOPS" (re-representing binary operations as valid floating-point logic on NaN and inf, then building a hardware implementation of a machine that computes on that logic using standards-compatible floating-point representations of those values), and "Need more RAM? Just invent time travel!"
