1. make a bacon sandwich. why not put a bit of soy and cumin in the pan.
2. use the bacon fat to fry some onions for like 40 minutes
3. in the meantime, go and chop up some spring onions, cherry tomatoes and leaf salad. put in a bowl with a pinch of fresh coriander and a squirt of lime juice
4. still in the meantime, go and chop up some garlic (like a bulb), some chilli
5. take some beef mince, some diced chorizo and whip it up with some paprika, coriander, soy, tamari, gochujang, pepper, cayenne pepper, worchestershire sauce, maybe a hint of chipolte, and a whizz of lime juice. oh and i used ginger
6. chuck chilli and garlic in the pan after the onions have gotten impatient (around 30-40-50 minutes)
7. wait a little longer, about 10 minutes, and mash the meat into the pan and fry
8. make some gnocchi.
9. now everything smells tasty, and the meat is browned and cooked, chuck in some (whatever) beans from a tin.
10. take the cooked gnocchi and chop it a little and stick it in the pan too. ooh

possible assignments:

- add tests to check the behaviour is correct.
  don't compare it to python's output, just check that each element is greater than the
  next, with the compare function

- add profiling code, and run it with much, much larger lists ~5000 elements
  which one is fast, slow?

- quick sort picks a random pivot, is this a good choice? what happens on larger lists
