Terrible hashing function

DAWG collapsing

	Dictionary dictionary = Dictionary.buildDefaultDictionary();
	Trie trie = new Trie(dictionary);
	Dawg dawg = new Dawg(dictionary);
	assertEquals(395184, trie.countNodes());
	int i=0;

	//Despite the merged nodes, a dawg should look structurally the same as a trie.
	TrieIterator t = trie.iterator(), d = dawg.iterator();

Parallel Troll Circuit

	1. In the battery or inside the battery plug, the current is converted to AC.
	2. The LEDs are attached in opposite polarity, but are normal LEDs.
	3. The switches are labelled in reverse - '0' is short, '1' is open.
	4. Each switch has an internal diode in series, with the same polarity as their LED.

	When both switches are '0':
	Each switch conducts when the AC cycle forward-biases its diode, so the LED sees insufficient voltage (only 0.7V to light)
