Here is an origami folding pattern for a Denison Block D that you can make with one straight cut.

I have Pringle can Enigma cutouts, with instructions. When assembled, the device simulates the German Enigma encryption machine from World War Two. This idea seems to originate with the people doing the National Cipher Challenge in the UK, but the templates are no longer available. I made up my own here.

You can download errata (a pdf file) for Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science (Prentice-Hall) by Feil and Krone. (Last update: 5 April, 2006.)

I'm director of the Denison Spring Programming Contest, held the last Saturday of each February.
