'''Extra credit project'''

If you choose to do the extra credit project, you can gain up to 15 additional points applied to the Projects portion of the class.  In this case total projects grade is calculated as
 
−
 
 
−
min(70, sum(project grades) + extra credit grade)
 
−
 
 
−
Accordingly, you don't need to complete the extra credit project to earn a perfect projects score.  We strongly recommend that you focus on the first 7 projects only and skip the extra credit one.  However, if you bomb one of the other projects, if you want to challenge yourself, or if you need to make up points you can attempt VICIOUS RABBIT 2000. Note however that this last project is extremely hard. It has so far only been attempted by senior graduate students and the Black Knight. No one has succeeded to date.
