Gates said. "If they said they'd read 'The Art of ComputerProgramming' and they did all the problems, I'd hire them right away!"Klawe chimed in: "So would I!"I wouldn't, because they'd be lying. For some of those problems, a solution would earn you a PhD, and a few might get you a Turing Award. Someone who told me he had done "all the problems" is either lying, or he hasn't understood what he's read.
