Seems a bit of overkill when you could just return List<object>. But hey that's just me.

A typed list, how pretensious, even if the type is object. In my appy days we used ArrayList.

Users of List<object> will pay a high price for the possible boxing/unboxing, or casting, or object Type inspection, that will occur ... or that will be necessary ... depending on the Types involved. And, the "opacity" of such code, like the current Item1 ... Item# syntax of .NET Tuples will, imho, make future code maintenance difficult.
Isn't this equivalent to using the old 'ArrayList structure ?

Just keep in mind that in .Net a Tuple is a reference type (class), not a struct.
|
|
|
|

In C# 7, the new Tuple, is a struct.

Well, that opens up fur some confusion.
Why don't they just call them anonymous return types instead?

And, that's one reason I have avoided them: [^].

Yes, I've read that. But that's a specific case.
If you read here[^] you'll find some performance comparisons.
You quickly realize that if you create, use and throw away, it makes sense to use a value type. But if your types are used more than once or twice before being destroyed, it makes sense to use reference types.

Hint 1: The Doctor's order?
Hint 2: How many times do I have to tell you? I do not like them!
Hint 3: All this puzzling is taking time,
So let's resolve it with a rhyme.
The answer's there if you'll just look

We have a winner!
It was, indeed, Green Eggs and Ham - an epic poem by the great Dr. Seuss in which the unnamed protagonist repeatedly refuses Sam-I-Am's offers of a dish of green eggs and ham in the firm conviction that the dish is not to his taste. SPOILER ALERT - needless to say, said unnamed protagonist eventually concedes and gives it a go, only to find that he actually does like green eggs and ham after all.
The hints were
1) The Doctor's order? What Doctor Seuss might have ordered in a restaurant.
2) I do not like them ... From the books's refrain - "I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam-I-am!"
3) A Seuss-like rhyme pointing directly to the literary classic in question.

It's a UK public holiday, and the original CCC wasn't posted on those: do we want to ignore holidays, or skip it for Tuesday? I have no idea how many other countries have a holiday then...
If you want one, reply YES, if not, reply Foooshoootnochanceiwontbetheretoanserit
If you don't know what I mean, quote James Joyce's Finnegans Wake - but exclude any quotes that contain no punctuation, and only quote from chapters you have read in their entirety.

Considering the composition of the group at this gathering point, I would not (knowingly) post a CCC on a UK public holiday. What are you lazy lot celebrating this time then?
