8.4-8.5 and 8.7, due on November 8

1. Difficult: I found it difficult to follow how the birthday attack and the hash function related and why they were useful together.

2. Reflective: I remember talking about the birthday paradox in my stats class. We had about 23 people in it and we went around the room and we found a birthday match. I didn't really understand why the probability is the way it is until reading this section on birthday attacks.
