There were many one-off mistakes.  For now, I also feel it is a bit beyond my cognitive load to write 8 algorithms a day.  The feeling of knowing how they work is great.  Though I think I should slow down before I introduce the 9th algorithm into the set.  Let's reduce the amount of errors first. Preferably 0 per day.

To save time, I'll also skip the requirement of rewriting.  Because the cost of a single mistake is too high.  Though, I will force myself to check the code 3+ times in my head from now on.
