1974, the year before Bill Gates left school to start Microsoft, there was a problem in the school. Five pancakes needed to be turned over several times before they could be folded from small to large. Mathematically speaking, how many times does it take for 4-3-2- 1-5 to become 5-4-3-2- 1, but many people think it is at least twice, that is, 2N times. But Bill Gates' answer can be less than twice, as long as it is 1.67N, and the minimum is not less than1.06n. He proved the correctness of this answer with an algorithm. Later, I wrote an algorithm paper with my math teacher and put it in mainstream math journals.

From 65438 to 0975, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to start Microsoft. Two years later, the then math teacher called Bill Gates and said that the paper had been accepted by Mathematics Magazine. But when Bill Gates found out, he just responded casually. This makes the professor feel very sorry. In his eyes, Bill Gates is the cleverest student, no one. He dropped out of school to start a business, which is undoubtedly self-destructive.
