You'd see a timelapse of me drawing it :P* I'm sure there's a mathematical explanation that already exists somewhere.Unlike the "Traveling Salesman" problem, I cross lines freely because, realistically, you do cross lines, repeat work, go over the same spots a few times.* It's the flaw of P=NP problems; they're trying to do a tertiary search using binary true/false/law-of-excluded-middle. All those $100,000 questions do is ignore the very source of the paradox: simply the "axiom/proof" model of mathematical truth. Needs the / to be included... the lines crossed over. But anyway, I'm sure there's a mathematical way of expressing this as well.* This is my "subjective search" pattern I use when I can't find my mother in the supermarket (she's fast) or when I REALLY can't find something in the house...* or when I want to accomplish a lot of tasks with the least amount of work. Go as far as you can, cover as much territory as you can on your way back. I can number them as well.* If I get a few free minutes later, I'll do a timelapse though; it's a GREAT idea; I'll number them as well; maybe i'll set it to some majestic sounding music so it sounds important; I like doing that.* Makes ppl think I'm smart :D I think it's probably similar to folding paper or a "cut in half, cut that half in half, cut that half in half again" type of thing.* Not sure; this is what my intuition tells me to do mostly but I have a weird intuition... and I hate doing the same motion twice... but I don't mind crossing over the same lines. ** Thank you by the way - really - 'cause I will make that later and... maybe I'll do some poking around the different search patterns that exist (or coverage algorythms) to find it.* I'm sure I'm not the first to find it.* I just know it works really well :)** But in either case, I love making little animations and short video things and especially when someone says, "I like what you did there." and gets specific about why.* When you said, "ive never seen a binary search diagramed in 2d like this before. id like to see it in timelapse" I got all smiley-happy and immediately thought of a bunch of little projects I can do with *Kenneth Udut's Search Pattern".* Inspiration; I live for it :)[1]search_pattern References Visible links 1. http://icopiedyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/search_pattern.png
