For problem 24 in chapter 11, sorting n m-bit numbers in time O(n), note
that O(nm) is *not* O(n) time. Your running time should *not* depend on
m; this is why the comparison time assumption is necessary. The
solution does not necessarily involve sorting anything.
Also, the lecture 6 slides on the web have been replaced with a version
including the slide that was purposefully omitted from the printed
handout.
