“Is the genome a program?”
PAPER I · QUESTION 1
The College of All Minds holds no charter, occupies no ground, and stands in the gift of no university. It confers no degrees, charges no fees, and maintains no faculty. It is constituted by its examination — nine papers and two hundred and seventy-one questions in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, computer science, social mathematics, and theoretical philosophy and logic — and by those who answer it.
The examination, The Truly Hardest Exam in the World, is published here in full. Written responses to any question are invited; every response is read, and those of sufficient merit are entered in the Register. Manent et numerantur: they remain, and they are counted.
