An algorithm, drawn by a 33-year-old female trust administrator in Switzerland.

Great, then, as a second task, I'd like you to draw underneath it your idea of an algorithm. Uhh... Uff algorithm, yeah...have different numbers, if something changes here, this changes here again, too, or yes the whole series changes again. So the dashes are the numbers and the change is this arrow? Exactly, that in turn affects all the dashes. What do the numbers or the dashes do? They say something [laughs] Okay, do you know where you first heard of algorithms? Um, in hydraulic engineering. In hydraulic engineering? hmh [affirmative] May I ask why hydraulic engineering and how it is related to that? For example, if you have to calculate the water level, i.e. the height of a water level. That plays ... well, you have profiles, you can ... you create a model or profiles and if something changes in one profile, it will of course also change the next profiles. Great, thanks a lot.
