Ah, but that's why one runs the list 'dishes' through the function 'quickndirtysort' before beginning. It's like quicksort but orders by cruddiness :) Alas, that still doesn't capture the notion of soapywater degenerating into murkywater. cheers, Dougal. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
