Abstract
To celebrate the 60th birthday of Charles H.Bennett I (1) publicly announce my referee reports for the original dense coding and teleportation papers, (2) present a very economical solution to the Bernstein-Vazirani problem that does not even hint at interference between multiple universes, and (3) describe how I inadvertently reinvented the Copenhagen interpretation in the course of constructing a simple, straightforward, and transparent introduction to quantum mechanics for computer scientists.
