0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another Ask Lisa episode of the Big Fib. I'm your host, Deborah Goldstein. On Ask Lisa, we present listener queries, wandries, and quizzical questions to our sound effects robot Lisa, whose name stands for live in studio audience.
0:25.3	Great to be here, Deborah. Unfortunately, I have to inform you that I no longer answer queries and quandaries. Only quizzical questions for me. Thank you very
0:31.3	much. Why can't you take quandaries? I'm sorry, Deborah, that's a quandary. I can't help you with that. But I put it in the form of a
0:39.0	question. Now you're veering dangerously close into query territory, and I believe I told you
0:45.3	how I feel about queries. Please just stick to the questions, Deborah. Um, okay, uh, let's queue up
0:53.2	our first question of the day.
0:55.6	Hi, Lisa. My name is Daniela. I'm 11 from Canada. My question is, how do you deal with really, really, really big problems? Thank you.
1:06.7	Oh, great question, Daniela. Before you answer, Lisa, I'm going to make a guess. You solve really big problems by using algorithms, right?
1:17.8	Algor rhythms? I mean, I enjoy algor rhythms as much as the next guy, but they don't exactly help me solve any of my problems.
1:25.6	No, algorithms. You know, sets of clearly defined
1:29.3	instructions that computers use to do computations. Oh, algorithms. Yeah, that's exactly what I do.
1:36.3	What are Al Gore rhythms? Uh, hip-hop mixtapes that I make of former Vice President Al Gore.
1:42.9	So we're seeing a sustainability revolution that is historic.
1:47.8	It has the magnitude of the industrial revolution, but the speed of the digital revolution.
1:52.4	The digital revolution.
1:55.5	Wow, Lisa, that's catchy.
1:58.1	Okay, back to algorithms.
2:00.1	Can you show us an example of an algorithm so the listeners can understand how you solve your problems?
2:05.8	Sure. Give me a problem to solve. Okay, let me think. Let's say we're about to record an episode of the big fib and our expert is nowhere to be found. What do you do?
2:17.3	Deborah, if you recall, Daniela asked how I solve really, really, really big problems.
2:23.4	That's hardly the world's biggest problem. Okay. Suppose the expert and the human child are
2:28.6	missing. Boring. And they're both in the eye of a hurricane.
