I know how to sue a bloom filter but I woudln't have thought to use it unless I was in a do fancy poo poo mindset already. If i was just given that task in real life i'd just use a loop + dictionary probably.

that's the answer we look for cause it's a real life answer

i have two words for you man, liberal loving arts ok? if you never suffered through some uptight dyke lecturing you on feminist Marxist deconstructionist perspectives on henry james "the portrait of a lady" aka the most boring loving book of all time, you don't get to complain
