"Aunt": I know that you have a bachelor's degree in computer science so you are smart with the computer...can you help me to pair new universal remote control for my television?

You should ho like: "hmm, shouldn't be too hard. Let me train a NN in order to find an optimum solution which could work for any remote pairing problem. If that doesn't work, I could come up with a probabilistic mode, then I should tune it for your specific env. Give me a few months, will get right on it!"
