IDEA instructions
I was with you until the last step. How did it all get sorted, instead of having two "peaks"?

  The video animation shows what is going on when you merge two lists together. You're comparing the first two indices and sorting them to complete that step.
  
  Thank you! I now understand the joke.
- I'm pretty sure it's because the sort comparison is between the indexes of each array, and happens at every step.
  
  Then what is the purpose of the middle steps?
  Second to last also has this problem.
  
  The image has big "Draw the rest of owl" energy.
I take pride in understanding a joke in programminghumor for the first time. (I just started with computer-science)
- Oof you picked the wrong field. Honestly, programmer culture is elitist and toxic as fuck, speaking as someone who made that mistake before.
  
  Why do you think I would want to know if I picked the wrong field?
