Sensor Hacking -
Robots convert sounds and visual information into data, right? So what if a sound like a piece of music or piece of visual information like a video when converted into data became a computer virus. A robot listening to the piece of music would be infected with a virus; a robot looking at the video would be infected with a virus. Any robot that has cameras for eyes and microphones for ears could be attacked in this way. Or in other words hacking the computer brain of a robot via sensory input.
Say “When” (Verbal Game of chance for 2 players)
- Player A begins to slowly count from 1 upwards, he can count to any number between 1 and 21.
- Player B does not know when Player A is going to stop counting.
- When Player B shouts “When”, Player A must stop and the number that Player A stops at is the number of points that Player B scores.
- In other words, Player B has to both wait till Player A reaches a high number so that he can score a high point but also say “When” before Player A stops counting and since Player B does not know when Player A is going to stop counting he is making a gamble.
- When Player A has finished counting; they switch roles; player B counting and Player A waiting to say “When”.
- Third turn rule: Every third turn the stakes are raised. If during a 3rd turn a player does not say “When” before their opponent has finished counting, they lose all the points that they have accumulated so far in the game.
- The player with most points at the end of 6 (or a higher multiple of 3 like 12) turns is the winner.
