title: How to convert to Chomsky Normal Form quickly?
body: <p>So I know the basic 4 step way of doing it. Removing the epsilons, then the variables less than 2 and so on. However, that way takes way too long for the problems we will have to do on the test. </p>
  
  <p>Here is an example: <br>
  <strong>Convert this context-free grammar to an equivalent Chomsky normal form grammar.
  Remember to remove all useless symbols from the grammar.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>S → TaXU | STUVWXY <br>
  T → UU | abc <br>
  U → bSc | ε <br>
  V → aV | Wb <br>
  W → cW | Va <br>
  X → bT | Tc <br>
  Y → cba | ε <br></p>
  
  <p>This is 1 of 6 questions on the test. We have 50 minutes to complete the entire test. I can do this one, but it takes me like 30-40 minutes each time. Does anyone know any tricks or shortcuts to make something like this go quicker? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
