One could alway store a node's depth at each node -- then you must search for u and v, creating a list of what nodes you found at each depth, and finally, simply compare the lists -- O(n) in the depth of u and v.

But now the assignments require more than a simple top-down traversal. For example: given a tree t and two nodes u,v, find the first common ancestor.

Well, this problem doesn't make much sense in Haskell. How do you specify the subtrees u and v in the first place?
