  1. I never thought that algorithms are important. I won a few competitions, a few international even without learning any algorithm. In my second year exam my professor asked me to use an algorithm but I said that I don't know what it is about, he just gave me the problem to solve and I solved it, after he checked it he told me that I used the algorithm actually.

  2. @9b8 I can implement most of the Algorithms and Design patterns but I never think of the names. If someone asks me about an algorithm name I just don't know which of the ones I know it is actually... Ok, Design patterns names I know but Algorithms... I am obsesed with performance, I know which algorithm to use when it is needed and which optimizations can be done but I never know the name of the algorithm.
