I take it that your students didn't read Don Knuth's wonderful book on
sorting and searching--the one with the fold-out chart on various tape

Shame--I found that to be a very entertaining tome.
I love it. My favorite volume.
I agree - marvelous books.
One of the software developers here actually won one of the Knuth $1.00
award checks for finding a typo in the 4th volume when that came out.

I have Knuth holding up my sofa. The leg broke on sofa, and set of books
happen be just the right height.
