examples: all examples suck

:I don't think of merge sort as a nondeterministic algorithm at all. Example #4 is an algorithm, but not for the problem described. I'm a logician though, not a computer scientist, and they are known to be sufficiently bad with they terminology that I am reluctant to edit too much without having reference to a CS text, which I don't. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 23:59, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 
::I think all the examples on the page are terrible. Can we just delete all of them? None of them seem to exhibit nondeterminism in the sense of [[nondeterministic Turing machines]] or a [[nondeterministic finite-state machine]]. --[[User:RobinK|Robin]] ([[User talk:RobinK|talk]]) 02:52, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
