Edsger W. Dijkstra

What is the shortest way to travel from Rotterdam to Groningen, in general: from given city to given city. It is the algorithm for the shortest path, which I designed in about twenty minutes. One morning I was shopping in Amsterdam with my young fiancee, and tired, we sat down on the cafe terrace to drink a cup of coffee and I was just thinking about whether I could do this, and I then designed the algorithm for the shortest path. As I said, it was a twenty-minute invention.

I removed the accents, I didn't thought about that since I type a lot of accents myself in Italian.

Cafe and Fiancee both flag as an error but I have no idea how to make the little thing over the 'e' in those words. MS Word does it automatically.
