Using Rice's Theorem, illustrate how you could prove the undecidability of whether a Turing machine's language is infinite.

💡 Hint: Identify languages accepted by certain Turing machines.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a new non-trivial property and suggest how Rice's Theorem could be used to prove it undecidable.

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of odd versus even and how that would apply to Turing machine languages.
