  "textContent": "Hiya Skeleton Crew,\n\nJust as a heads up, I’m still workin out some website-related kinks:\n\n  * The auto-grader’s been throwin up too many false “wrong”s: I imagine it’s pretty annoying to answer somethin like **flossing** instead of **floss** & then get the big red ❌ after ya submit! Youse guys are always welcome to shoot me an email if ya don’t agree with how somethin’s been graded – though rest assured that I _do_ go back & fix up those errors as best I can.\n  * I’ve been addin categories to the questions! This is mostly invisible to youse all— EXCEPT if yer a SUPER SPECIAL SECRET SKELETON MATEY (i.e., a paid subscriber)! In that case, ya can scroll to the bottom of yer profile to see how ya’ve fared historically in each category!! It’s a bit of an ongoin process to get the categories sorted for each question in the ol’ archive, so the numbers there might be in flux for the next few days & weeks.\n\n\n\n#### Answers to Last Time\n\n  * It’s the ****floss**** that’s the dance that was popularized by Russell Horning a.k.a. “Backpack Kid”.\n  * & it’s ****Justin Jefferson**** who plays wide receiver for the Vikings & who popularized the Griddy dance.\n\n\n\n## Today’s Trivias\n\n# Trivia 1\n\nRachel Whiteread’s _House_ , Eduardo Chillida’s _Elogio del Horizonte_ , Yevgeny Vuchetich’s _The Motherland Calls_ , & several[1] of the _spomeniks_ of the former Yugoslavia are all sculptures made in primarily **what medium**?\n\n# Trivia 2\n\nWhen it comes to computers, some programmin languages are _compiled_ – which just means there’s a program called a compiler that reads through whatever code ya write, then crunches it down into the literal ones & zeros that yer computer’s CPU actually understands. That’s why if ya ever open up an _.EXE_ file in a text editor, it’ll just look like a load of gibberish instead of C++ code or whatever. In other words: the programming language is for humans to write, the _.EXE_ is for computers to read, & the compiler is what gets ya from one to the next!\n\nAnyways, one of the things that the compiler does when it looks at a source code file is it organizes the syntax of the code ya wrote into a tree-like data structure. (It’s basically the computer’s equivalent of diagrammin a sentence, if ya ever did that in grade school.)\n\nThis data structure’s called an _AST_ , where _S_ stands for _Syntax_ & _T_ stands for _Tree_. (Sometimes it’s also called a _parse tree_.) But **what does the _A_ in _AST_ stand for**?\n\n* * *\n\n💀 Submit Your Answers 💀\n\n💀 View Season Leaderboard 💀\n\n* * *\n\n## OK then\n\nByeeeeeeeeeeeeee\n\n* * *\n\n  1. (most? _all_??) ↩︎\n\n\n",
