Name Pronunciation

My name is pronounced the way it is written, "Die-anna Stan". I suppose the correct (Romanian) pronunciation of my name would be "Dee-ahna Stahn" but nobody but my family pronounces my name this way, so I would use the first, more obvious pronunciation.\

Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was the "Traveling Salesman" from Other Demos. It was interesting because it allowed me to see the process and algorithm that the computer goes through to solve the problem, and showed that not even the computer could solve that type of problem very quickly.
