Thursday: Snow Day!

Not a real snow day, obviously, as snow in Honolulu would be unprecedented. It wouldn't take much to shut down the city, though.  With all the steep streets around here, just a dusting of snow or ice would make it impossible to drive.
Kind of like this.
The Hawaii form of a snow day usually comes in one of two forms: potential tsunami or power outage at work.  Today was the second case.  They're still doing some sort of electrical grid work, and that requires them to shut off the entire neighborhood.  I was able to use the work-from-home time to sort out some math that was bothering me on Wednesday.  Basically, I tried to solve something using an M*N*(2 * K) algorithm, when I actually need to do a 2*(M*N*K) algorithm.  Big-O the same, but the mathematical results didn't work in the first form.  This is also significantly faster than the standard M*N*K^2 algorithm.

Yes, today is snowy picture day.
