Evolution in computers is quite fascinating. Programs are randomly generated, and tested to see how well they do at a task (flashing up "Hello world!" if "Hello PC!" is typed in, for example). The ones closest to these are selected, and those programs are mixed up into more programs. Again, the rubbish ones are ignored, until a program is "evolved" to do the specified thing. The problem is, it takes quite a while.

That was the general consensus about the whole show... That was the best song in it, or at least the one I remember most. And I wasn't even singing it - we had soloists.

No, but there were primary schools also involved in it. About 14 schools in all, 3 were secondary.

Cheese, then.
Should this now be called the "teenandrandom20yearoldwhoreallyoughttogetoutmorescienceforum"?

Goff Richards... I've heard that name somewhere - attached to another excruciatingly awful song probably...

Really? We were talking about a show which featured a song about Evolution...
OK, probably off-topic, yes.
