I hope this wiggles for you.Vleeptron awards clever Sentients (carbon-based or silicon-based, we're not prejudiced) with cheap Pizza.
But if you're Really Clever, you can get Much Better Than Pizza!
A Sentient cooked up This Thing in 1960. He is now a Knight. The Queen of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland finally Knighted this Senient. You now have to address this Sentient as Sir.
So like ... what the heck is this? If you're the first to know ... Rise, Sir Commenter! or Rise, Dame Commenter! Receive 3 slices of square pizza, with double anchovies!

First, we are Very Happy that it Wiggled for you!
The PizzaQ Thing has nothing to do with the Weather on Earth or Vleeptron or Yobbo or Hoon.
No hints yet. This is one of those *Are You Really Civilized* things, like the image of the Scandinavian garden and buildings from 1598.
All Civilized Sentients should know about This Thing. Look what happened to its Inventor! Her Royal Highness Elizabeth Regina II made him a Knight! So She Knows what This Thing is!

Hmmm well okay here is a very thin, gruel-like, insubstantial Hint.
What is This Thing?
Well, assuming this Animated Image wiggles for you ...
What you see it do from Start to Finish (and then it starts all over again) is just an Example of What the Thing does and How it does it.
What the Thing does, and How it does it, are What the Thing Is.
This Example has 33 vertical bars.
But a valid example could just as well have 13 or 99 or 35,662,119 vertical bars.
Vertical bars are just a visual symbol of the Elements on which The Thing acts. The vertical bars are not truly the Elements themselves. The vertical bars are just symbols which your eyes can observe and your mind can contemplate.
A valid example cannot have fewer than 2 Elements.
A valid example can have many Elements, but not an infinite number of Elements.
Hello Vleeptron! Thanks for the well wishes and welcome wagon to my new home :) BTW : I've shown Mark your blog as well, a few weeks ago -- got a 'very cool' rating especially on the Easter bunny problem.
I poked around a bit - as your post was intriguing... it set me off in a couple of different directions, as your posts usually do.
I wandered through several interesting alleys and zones out there on the WWW (which entertained for about an hour, with new information and WOW-gotta look more into that moments)... and found that you are demonstrating a technique known as Quicksort, developed by C.A.R. Hoare - who was indeed KNIGHTED!
The most interesting part about the graph - as I watched it - was that it was taking random data and sorting it to an ordered incline, not in one direction, or even two -- but by some internal process that jumped up and down the line, while keeping to a specific area.. then switching the area. A simple (and maybe not accurate) observation - but it fascinated me to watch it - then correct my view with a formal description of the process after searching for it on my own terms.
Now I'm on to look at the rest of his achievements as well as bubble and cocktail sorting which were some of the alleys leading up to your mysterious window into sorting algorithms and similar things ;)
You still haven't told us what the last PizzaQ was...you know, the pretty castle with the cool gardens.
Hey Bob can I leave a hint for the Garden PizzaQ ?
Arthur C. Clarke might recognize this Place.
BTE forget everything I said about warm winters. 20 cm of snow and sub-zero temperatures have arrived !!
