Do you have an example which correctly solves the problem but takes too long?

Behold

  var AGESORT = rows.bubblesort("AGE ASCENDING")
  var AGESORT1 = rows.bubblesort("AGE DESCENDING")
  var MALE = "None"
  var MALE1 = "None"

  for row in AGESORT
    if row.isMale
       MALE = row
       break

  for row in AGESORT1
    if row.isMale
      MALE1 = row
      break
    
  
  print "Min age: " + MALE
  print "Max age: " + MALE1

Stuff like this is usually the result of thoughts like "Ok, I'll break this problem into two, then combine the pieces. First I'll find the minimum age, which is easy once I sort the rows. Done. Ok, now I can see I can slightly alter that code so that it finds the max age! Now, I just put the pieces of code together, and do a little code organization to put like with like. I"

Good point.
