Note on academic honesty

If you're taking CS50W, either through Harvard Extension School, Harvard Summer School or OpenCourseWare, please do not blindly copy paste my code. You are putting yourself at a huge risk for getting excluded from the course by the staff themselves as they grade each project thoroughly. This is a course offered by Harvard, and you will be put up to their standard.
