I need a volunteer who is not afraid of failure
summary
A live demo shows two tasks—hold several toy frogs and keep hands flat on your head—are essentially impossible for one person but succeed when split between two threads (two volunteers), illustrating task-based parallelism. A second demo has the whole room clap and shout “CPPCON” three times instead of doing it serially, demonstrating data parallelism and producing an obvious audience-wide speedup that clearly works.
