3... 2... 1... Sort!

The champagne celebration quickly turns into a computer science lesson. Bogosort, the algorithmic equivalent of throwing papers in the air and hoping they land in alphabetical order, has a time complexity of O(n!). That's math-speak for "you'll die of old age before this finishes sorting." Meanwhile, algorithms like Quicksort are actually useful with O(n log n) complexity. No wonder our champion is celebrating - he's created the most spectacularly inefficient sorting method possible. That's like winning a medal for building the world's slowest car and being genuinely proud of it.
