This man wrote a fucking BOOK by BLINKING HIS LEFT EYE.

After reading his story, you might find it easier to do your homework.

Man, how did they not work up a system like morse code? That's horrible. Mad props for the patience, though.

Being clever would have taken time away from the goal of writing a book. It's arguable that the book would have been done sooner had they both taken the time to learn Morse Code (or Huffman Coding), but they quickly found a workable solution and got on with it.

They did one clever thing, though:

To make dictation more efficient, Bauby's interlocutor, Claude Mendibil, read from a special alphabet which consisted of the letters ordered in accordance with their frequency in the French language.
