Google AI Experts on Automation Challenge

More than 200 attendees filled Beaux Arts Ballroom on Nob Hill, San Francisco, for an eight-and-a-half-hour data-crunching challenge.

After grouping into pairs and trios, entrants were given data from an anonymous auto parts maker and asked to predict bad batches in factory output.

Google researchers, Quoc Le, Ming Chen and Yieng Lu,were pretty confident to lead the competition using the testing artificial intelligence software called AutoML.

Did they win?

I cut my toast in the "Mini Toast Rack" style, but my family calls it "butterflies". I cut my PB&J sammies (thank you, Rachael Ray!) that way too, but I cut my ham n' cheese sammies again, in the "Squares" pattern, ending up with 8 bite-sized sections.

I've always cut my kids' sandwiches in the "Mini Toast Rack" style. This provides maximum consumability and minimum mess for children who don't eat the crusts.

I always cut my sandwiches corner to corner. I don't know why, it's just the only one that feels "right". When we make eggs over medium, I cut toast into soldiers to dip them into the eggs. Delicious!

I eat toast dry (without topppings - not even butter.) I eat the crusts first, and then I fold the remaining toast in half and eat it.
