Modify the closest pair of points algorithm so that the separating line L now separates the first n/4 points (sorted according to their x coordinates) from the remaining 3n/4 points. Write the recurrence relation that gives the running time of the modified algorithm. Is the running time of your algorithm still O(nlogn)? Specify the best asymptotic running time you can get for your algorithm and briefly justify.

There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. what is it and why does this pattern occur? how many bits would you need if you wanted to have the ability to count up to 1000? how high could you count in binary if you used all 10 of your fingers as bits? (finger up means 1, finger down means 0)
