If you created an algorithm, what would you call it?

 I take attendance by having the students answer a question.

If you created an algorithm, what would you call it?

Most people went for a legacy:

• [student's own first name]sort
• [student's own first name]algorithm
• [student's own last name]
• [student's own full name]3000
• [student's last name] method
• [student's last name]'s Algorithm
• Make[student's first name]OnTime

Then some people went for a bizarre name:

• golden
• Goat
• BifghkaJKHSTY
• cheeseburger
• transform 
• apples

Then some people went for a straightforward "impossible to say what this algorithm does":

• The Best Algorithm
• Algorithm
• Algo I
• Algorithm X

My favorite was the "extremely possible to say what this algorithm does":

• something descriptive

This post's theme word is maecenatism (n), "patronage". None of today's forward-thinking algorithm designers has favored maecenatism in their naming scheme; how is modern-day artisanal algorithm design to thrive without this historical source of support?

What is the worst pun you've ever heard?

 I take attendance by having the students answer a question.

What is the worst pun you've ever heard?

Only a few actual responses:

• That's pretty punny of you, haha!
• alpaca lunch
• [thought too much]
• orange you glad I didn't say banana
• all puns are great

... and then more than 15 variants of "I don't know". I guess it's hard to remember a pun on the spot.

This post's theme word is gegg (n), "a trick or practical joke," or (v) "to play a hoax or practical joke." The biggest gegg of the post is the lack of puns!
