As some of you may have seen in my last (and also first) post, I got feedback from our professors. They're a bit sceptic about the first topic "To Mock a Mockingbird" and most probably they are right. It will be difficult (if not impossible) to relate the topic of combinatorial logic to the other topics in computer science which are usually treated on secondary school level. Furthermore there's a general problem with those logical riddles: some like them, some hate them. And for the latter it will be rather hard to be motivated to solve them.
As for "Brainfuck": Although this is a case of rather unfortunate naming, the didactic possibilities that lurk within overwhelm this point. "Brainfuck" gives deep insight into the function of computers, programming languages and Turing machines (and this all at once, if you want to!). The leading question(s) will be "What can / can't be done with Brainfuck?" (and I think for some of you there may be a surprising answer).
As you may have guessed meanwhile, I'll settle for "Brainfuck". Now let's go and ask Lukas whether he wants to join me in this project or if I should do it all by myself.
