# Theory of Computation*
Part of that is a stack, it should (if I got it right) only hit success with the string 'elephant'. Thats all I'm afraid

* yes, about as fun as it sounds

# It's been a while but,
The start state is the butt, and e takes you to the eye, upside down T is I don't know what, but e takes you back to the butt and so on. Funky e could be a terminal and upside down T could be a non terminal but you can't hide an elephant from me, no sir.

# Ooh close
Upside down T is the symbol for the bottom of the stack. The e thing is an empty..ness.. in this case it occurs at the end of 'elephant' to force you to end in the eye which has a dot because its the final (accept/success) state.
Oops, that got rather wordy.

# Oh not at all. I bet a few people are looking for acceptable strings that are not "elephant"
Like (going out on a limb here) the null string?

# I'm sure there are some
I'm hoping the stack use will stop that, since you can only transition if a particular symbol is at the top of it. Just noticed, it accepts ephant.

He's trying to walk on his knuckles so the other chimps will accept him but they still don't.

I'd say 'more mad' or 'madder', but that's unpossible.
