I can tell when a new semester of Scheme is starting based on the hits I get on my old course web page for problems from SICP. I saw enough that I decided it was time for me to remove the solutions. (That hasn't stopped some from using Google's cached versions.)

Now, apparently, some students from Williams are tasked with writing a Quine in Java:

My hope is some students turn in some version of what I have, with a befuddled professor wondering why they didn't want to use semicolons.
