I'm pretty sure I was serious. I don't know how people can be that clever. It seems simple once it's explained, sure, but I wouldn't be able to come up with that on my own without someone else giving me a problem that points me in that direction.

Studied this in computer science algorithms class waaaaayyy back in 1996 and by golly this one stuck with me. It's so simple and so effective.
