Never mind, we are (I am) patient :-)

So, grocery store? As a personal note, please take my apologies if you have been offended by me making use of the typo in the original title of your node - "Algorithmic hesh bug".

Somehow, that "hesh bug" lit my imagination and I made that into a candy to pass around in the Chatterbox (as marto passes around mugs of tea):

hesh bugs are candies made of fine grained chocolate tied to an autoreversing vacuum. They expand into 1/vacuum upon contact. The bigger ones are dragon banes; the smaller ones are useful for e.g. cleaning teeth interstices.

Sorry... hesh bug is so nice.. and just candy to me... :-)

On posting 300 lines of code - no, that would not be fine. Better work on the brief explanation. The 300 lines of codes would be a cast of your condensed thoughts into a program. It would be better to have the thoughts uncast first, because that's the only way to compare the achievement to the goal and to tell you what obstacles are in the way to reach it.

If you formulate your proceedings well beforehand, even without writing a line of code, your code will become much clearer; it will be understandable for others in the light of your stated goals, and I guess it doesn't need 300 lines of code to single out the "bug in your understanding" of hashes.
