In functional programming, continuation-passing style is a style of programming in which control is passed explicitly in the form of a continuation.
History
Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy L. Steele, Jr. coined the phrase "continuation-passing style" in AI Memo 349 (1975), defining the first version of the Scheme programming language.
Introduction
Instead of "returning" values as in the more familiar direct style, a function written in continuation-passing style (CPS) takes an explicit "continuation" argument, i.e. a function which is meant to receive the result of the computation performed w...
The following is a list of characters from the American situation comedy The Big Bang Theory created and executive produced by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, which premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007. It concerns two prodigies in their 20s, one a theoretical physicist and the other an experimental physicist, who work at Caltech and live across the hall from a waitress with show-biz aspirations. Their geekiness and intellect are contrasted by her social skills and common sense.
Main characters
* Dr. Leonard Leakey Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173...
What general tips do you have for golfing in C#? I'm looking for ideas that can be applied to code golf problems in general that are at least somewhat specific to C# (e.g. "remove comments" is not an answer). Please post one tip per answer.

C# 119 characters:
bool l(string n){return(String.Join("",n.Reverse().Select((x,i)=>(x-48)*(i%2<1?2:1)+"").ToArray()).Sum(x=>x-48))%10<1;}
Not too bad for a code golf n00b in a statically typed language, I hope.
Write a program to play the popular English nursery rhyme.
Some Wikipedia articles that may be useful:

There must be a better/shorter way, but here's my Haskell solution in 96 characters:
l=(==0).(`mod`10).sum.zipWith($)(cycle[id,\x->x`mod`5*2+x`div`5]).reverse.map((+(-48)).fromEnum)
Sadly the digitToInt function can only be used if you import Data.Char first. Otherwise I could get down to 8...
