Let us try a talk page for the entry. Please post any questions related to the head/tail breaks, so we can start conversations on it. Why you say the entry is too technical? As far as I see, it is very simple, readable and accessible to even high school students. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.154.105 ( talk) 22:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi all,

I think that the pseudo code is confusing. I doubt that the while loop is correct and think it should be a if. Additionally, there are some missing edge cases (for instance a set of values of size 1, which can happen at any point during the recursion). Am I missing something? Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElJRe ( talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC) reply
