Deep within the labyrinthine halls of the Committee of Conundrums, a secretive group of algorithmic archaeologists toil away, uncovering the lost secrets of the ancient ones. Their mission: to unearth the hidden patterns and codes that governed the actions of our ancestors.
Using cutting-edge techniques such as 'reverse engineering' and 'wild guessing,' these intrepid explorers delve into the dusty tomes and crumbling artifacts of a bygone era, searching for the algorithms that once powered the most mundane tasks of the ancients.
Their discoveries are not for the faint of heart: a 3000-year-old algorithm for calculating the optimal route between two points, a 2000-year-old algorithm for determining the most efficient method for making a decent cup of coffee, and a 1000-year-old algorithm for deciding which cat to kick out of the house.
But be warned: their findings are not always what you might expect. Sometimes they uncover dark secrets, like the algorithm that powered the ancient civilization's obsession with cat videos.
