Can I help you find a TEDTalk you remember watching?

Did you ever watch a TEDTalk and then forget which one it was? I can help! I just love helping people find lost TEDTalks from the sketchiest of clues.

Tell me any details you can remember. "There was a lady with a brain ..." "The guy drew a bull's-eye ..." "Silver shoes ..." and we'll puzzle it out together.

  May 23 2012: Hi Olivia! We actually have two talks about this amazing experiment. Sugata Mitra first spoke about it at the Lift conference in 2007, and here's that video:

  Then Sugata came to TEDGlobal in 2010 and gave an update on how similar experiments are playing out all around the world -- including the wonderful "granny cloud":
