    The tier list meme, except with O(1), O(log N), O(N), ... instead of S, A, B, ... tiers. The O(1) tier is occupied by the Wikipedia picture for hash tables (credit Jorge Stolfi), the O(log N) tier is occupied by the Wikipedia picture for binary trees (credit Radke7CB), and the O(N) tier is occupied by the Wikipedia picture for singly linked lists (credit Radke7CB and Derrick Coetzee)
