Novel Search Algorithm

(smirk, computers)

We three females took a few of the guys along shopping a couple
weeks ago.  After an afternoon of watching women discuss imperceptible
(to them) differences in colour, and waiting outside fitting rooms, the
guys came up with this:

"I think I'll write the 'women-in-a-mall' search program sometime."

"How does that work?"

"It first does a linear search through the entire set, then, unsatisfied
with a negative result, it goes back and checks random items to see if
it missed something."
