 I was thinking more along the lines of Rick and Morty or Existenz - a sci-fi movie worth watching if you have not seen it yet.

$6000 is weird on its own, but to call it art?!

Freddie Flintoff 'lucky' to survive 124mph Top Gear crash[^]
Same track, but ... 124mph? That's not even trying!
Even the crashes are but a pale shadow of former glories ...

Used to be Bugles were well-formed, with decent-sized openings so you could wear them on your fingers.
The bag says "America's #1 Finger Hat™" but they cannot be put on your fingers anymore. They're all squished pretty much flat.
They go through all the trouble and expense to Trade Mark the hat thing, then make them non-hat-able.

And you can't use Hula Hoops as rings any more either!

Could it be that your fingers have grown?

I have a hammer. If you really want to I can reshape the tips of your fingers so that you can wear the flattened bugles as hats.

Some people are too set in their ways that you cannot get a simple idea through.
Have politely requested the boss to reconsider my allocation to the team. 
Update:
I have been asked to spend some more time, and ignore to people in question. She says a new project is under discussion and would soon be my way.. yay
Best part, one developer.

I've seen the reference implementations for dictionary and sorted dictionary. I've even fiddled with them in binary form way back when with Reflector. I expect the inserts and removal times to be longer - i'd be surprised if they weren't, but the searches? This is just wrong.
(The AVL tree implementation sucks - it will be improved)

There's NO WAY this is happening without some black magic. Like some specialized op for their dictionaries.

How'd that work out for you last time?
I hope you make a better dev than a hall monitor.

@chris-maunder
Thank you for the polite tone of your response, Peter.
I am aware of Chris' comment on the prior post, and I do not interpret it as being a "blanket" invitation for posts, like this one, which are nothing but code. There is no "discussion" inherent in this post.
I take the privilege of being a "mentor" on CP seriously, and when I see content like this, which could contribute to the quality of CP in the long run ... if posted on the appropriate technical forum ... I will speak out.
cheers, Bill
