    i guess you mean bogo sort? just verifying that output is sorted requires O(n). In Quantum bogo sort, you can skip verification.

      Yeah, stupid autocorrect. And verifying ain’t the same as doing. I’ll come in, I’ll “sort” your data, and I’ll do it damn fast. You want verification that’s extra!

        but how do you know you are done. maybe there are different ideas of what bogo sort is, but as i remember, it is basically a while true (or while false loop) with condition - while list_is_not_sorted { return_a_random_ordering }
