29 February 00: NOTE revisions to the Walsh Transform Question in The REVISED Midterm Exam for 2000, which is now installed into these notes.

I gave you an 8 digit Walsh problem to work but only a 4 x 4 Walsh matrix. In digging around I find that I don't have the 8x8 handy and don't feel like solving 64 simultaneous equations to get it. So I've just simplified the problem on the exam.
