Jewish Algorithms II

Whilst experimenting with different pattern matching algorithms, it became apparent that Boyer-Moore stubbornly refused to scan my input. We were all running the same applet and somehow it worked for EVERYONE else in the class. I demoed my insubordinate algorithm to a few of my classmates.

Jim: Sorry, Deborah, but it looks like the Jewish algorithm doesn’t like you.
Me: But I’m Jewish!!!!!
Colin: Maybe it’s a self-hating Jewish algorithm
Me: Like all Jewish algorithms, huh
(Emphatic nodding by Colin ensues)
