> One of the reasons I’d like to see a copy of the Second Edition is to see whether this passage has changed
For the author: it hasn't changed. Still only 10%.
I actually had to write this binary search algorithm in my technical competency interview for my current job. Rather than hours, I had minutes and the extra gotcha was that it was unsorted data so I had to write quicksort first. I remember feeling excited that I was going to be working for a company that had such low level issues but eight months in it's still the only time I've written my own sort or search methods since University :)
