15. http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/ EX1: Playing Table Tennis (2/2) Benefits: To know people at playing it I even play it when I was in oversea Championship

16. http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/ EX2: People Asked: What is your research? My research is doing scheduling problems. I wont go through the details. Instead, I will: Give the most relevant scheduling problems he/she knows. Discover a lot of examples they can understand! PS: Our life is also a scheduling problem ; )
