==Explanation==
In this comic [[Cueball]] is trying to decide if he wants to stay with [[Ponytail]] who he is currently dating or leave her and have a relationship with [[Megan]]. The comic suggests that no matter which one he chooses he will never truly achieve happiness because of his longing for the option he chose not to take. In a sense this is a {{w|No-win_situation|no-win situation}}.

The title text is referring to a concept in computer science, all {{w|Comparison_sort|comparison based sorting algorithms}} are incapable of sorting a set of n values on an arbitrary set faster then an order of n*log(n)*k where k is an arbitrary constant and n is the number of values to compare.

If [[Cueball]] was capable of establishing an external scale he could use use {{w|Bucket_sort|bucket sort}} or different order n {{w|Sorting_algorithm|sorting algorithm}}, but as he does not know what the best thing for him is he can't establish limits and thus he can't achieve this.
