“One day, as I was writing on the board with my back turned to the class, a paper airplane sailed out of the upper reaches, smacked into the board and fell to the floor. A challenge! I picked it up and looked it over. It was a standard paper airplane made from a piece of 8.5×11 inch paper. I turned to the class and said, ‘You call THIS a paper airplane? You can do better than that!’” – John Chinneck, Department of Systems and Computer Engineering
