Ok, I added two tasks to write the code to port the missing OpenCL
ray-quadric intersection routines. I'm not asking the students to write the
C/OpenCL glue code because I think this will make things harder for
highschoolers. It is probably also best not to require them to compile and
verify their code as well. We can just plain desk check it.
I added the Heart (HRT), and Hyperboloid (HYP) primitives as separate
tasks. I put 3 days as the time to do it. I'm not sure if this is enough.
Could use some feedback on how digestible these tasks are.
