The perfect illustration of how computer scientists react to algorithm efficiency! On the left, Fry's laser-focused intensity when hearing "O(n²)" represents that moment of pure panic when you realize your code will crawl to a halt with large datasets. Meanwhile, on the right, the same information has him looking utterly defeated—the classic "my program is going to take until the heat death of the universe to finish" expression. In computer science, the difference between a fast algorithm and an O(n²) one is basically the difference between "coffee break" and "maybe I should consider a new career." Quadratic time complexity: where dreams of real-time processing go to die!
It's Just O(N²)
