I've used the "Where's Waldo" puzzle as an example often enough in my talks that I would be remiss in not listing this item. In it, a computer language called 'Mathematica' is used to find Waldo agaoinst the busy background. The mechanism is pretty simple (sort on the colour, filter for the stripes) and could be extended for other features (hat, glasses, etc). One commentator suggests using a Boltzmann machine to find Waldo.
