This is an interesting piece of code, and while it is doing exactly what I'm doing, it doesn't address the underlying problem that I was trying to represent.

Having to do this every time I want to display this hash will require quite a bit of extra calculations. I could store this array but then I have data duplication (memory/speed tradeoff) that I was hoping to avoid.
