Have you tried writing a program that checks if other programs will ever finish running? Should be a quick and easy project!
Adding a Turing award to your profile is certainly one way to flesh it out
Process.start(program, arguments)
Print("it finished")
"Will ever finish", not "has already finished". It needs to predict.
It's a reference to this.
I'm aware, the halting problem is semi decideable - only positive instances of the problem can be decided.
