Melanie Mitchell‘s book An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms, contains a series of thought exercises for the reader. The book itself does not contain Melanie’s answers, but they were previously freely available on her website. Unfortunately, the website no longer seems to be available. However, I was able to find a copy of her answers online still using the Wayback Machine. For convenience, I’m posting a copy here:

Note that this is entirely her work, and if her website reappears, then I’ll remove this copy. As mentioned, this document is already freely available online at the following location, but I don’t think it would be appropriate to thrash the Wayback Machine with the same query:
