I was really impressed with the solution! With what I've
just learned from my prof in my algorithms analysis
class just this afternoon, it's the efficiency of the
algorithm that matters most, as there's always more
than one solution, but there exists at least a solution
that has a better worst case than the others.
It makes me more interested to take up the course
after all (just spare the needed mathematical proof in an
academic course...)

Anyway, further quarrels on this matter will make it
even more esoteric than ever before - it might even take
some sittings on a classroom to resolve it, or hit the
data structures books if someone would say. SIGKILL this
thread might be a better algo.
