  1. 0:20 – 18:00 Blackjack using graphs
    18:00 – 37:20 Blackjack using DP
    37:20 – 52:57 longest increasing sub-sequence

  2. Is this just me? But I find it hilarious every time the chalk breaks .

  3. Wow, after days of mulling over the text justification problem and the blackjack problem, which were harder examples of DP, the longest increasing sub-sequence problem was a breeze. I got the DP and the state in seconds. These teachers are amazing.

    Where's my cushion?

  4. Victor is a great teacher. He repeats all the process over and over again so that make it sure all students understand the topic.

  5. At 12:00 why the edge end at 11 can't figure out , I am clear upto this point , if i already played 5 card then remaining card i can deal with (52-5=48) , so he iterating from 0 to 48 cards , now if i hit one card that means i have played total 6 card with 1 hit and makes me win , but not able to conclude why 11 , as i played only one card after 5 card.that makes 6 and i won .
    , anyone can please explain ?

  6. Could someone please tell me why we are looking at number of hits rather than single hit or miss at each move. I am not understanding this point.

  7. Kenne diesen Trick Dieses System scheint in der Tat auf merkwürdige Weise zu funktionieren. Selbst wenn das sicher hier keiner ernst nimmt.
