Pumpkin Carving at the Telluride House





Tonight was the night o' carving pumpkins. At the suggestion of another house member, I made an "L. L. Nunn-kin," was disatisfied with the first draft, and so composed a second, more sinister version. I also carved the Cantor-Lebesgue function, which is a continuous function with derivative 0 except on a set of measure 0 which goes from (0,0) to (1,1), kicking the fundamental theorem of calculus around like a small child. I also roasted up a bunch of pumpkin seeds recovered from the carnage. Mmmm,... tasty.

By the way, my pubspeak was on Thursday, and it culminated in a discussion of the Cantor set and the Cantor-Lebesgue function.
Very nice michael, I don't know if it can compare with my proctor group's snowman pumpkin, but it's definitely close.
