backflip

Synopsis

Attempting a backflip is not safe. You could break your neck, land on your head or land badly on your wrists, none of which is very pleasant. But my avatar has a trick: it practices on a six-core processor with the help of Machine Learning. It might not be the most state-of-the-art processor, but it can still calculate six jumps per iteration. One iteration takes 1 minute, which is 360 jumps an hour and 8,640 jumps a day. Better than I could do!
