Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 22-year-old female business and economics exchange student in Switzerland.

So could you please, a second task, draw how an algorithm works. Yeah, right. Okay, this is super weird, but this is what I see in my head. So you're drawing little boxes that are connected? Yes, exactly. What are those boxes? These boxes, they are kind of foundations for something, doesn't really matter what, that becomes a solution as a whole and they're all connected to each other. And at the end we have kind of the entire thing, whatever it is that is built out of algorithms. Okay. Which means that you can see kind of... Let's say we have a big something over there and then we have even more like kind of... I'm not even sure why I'm making squares here, but it's just like... And they're all connected to this big thing. And this big thing is, you call it the solution? Yeah, exactly. It's like a solution or... Yeah, exactly. So creation maybe. Solution or creation. And they all lead to that, those boxes. Yes. And these are like building stones kind of and they are all leading here. And they're also all connected to each other in one or another way, which means that you can from looking at one box get to the solution and creation through different roles. And you can also from the creation and solution get to the first box, which is- Point of origin. Yeah. The original, kind of the... Yeah, building rock or whatever. Great. Do you remember when you first heard about algorithms in what context? I'm not sure if it's the first one, but I think I heard it first time, was you can use it as a solution to know how to do the Rubik's Cube. You use algorithms to solve it. I was like 10 years old and someone told me that. I was like, "What the fuck is algorithms?" I must know it. Great. Thank you very much.
