Can you tell us about your AHHA moment?



OH!!!

I think you may be referring to the AHHA moment that I mentioned in one of the Help Videos that you can watch as you build the Universal Turing Machine using the Excel file that you can download from the main page of this website.

Actually, I pretty much said everything I wanted to say about it in that Help Video. In case you're wondering how you can get to this Help Video yourselves so that you can watch it, here are the steps you should take:

Click on the first picture in the main page of this website to download the Excel file (if you haven't done so already).

With the Excel file open to the Welcome sheet, click on the picture.

When it asks you "Which Turing Machine shall we use?" click on Example from the book "The Emperor's New Mind".

When it asks you "Which Turing Machine Example from "The Emperor's New Mind" would you like to use?" click on The Universal Turing Machine

When it asks "ARE YOU SURE ??" click on YES !

When it asks you "What Turing Machine shall the Universal Turing Machine imitate?" click on Example from the book "The Emperor's New Mind"

Then, in the Userform that pops up on the screen, click on the box Help Video.

Then, just watch the video. Enjoy.

OH!! I should mention something.

About 4 minutes after the video starts, I tell you that the video is over and that you can stop watching. You can stop if you want to, but the part where I talk about my AHHA moment comes later. So, if you want to see that part, you have to watch to the end.

Enjoy!
