Glad to help. But I noticed the analogy is a bit flawed; testing for membership does not add anything to the set, but the analogy might imply asking yaSeenThisFaceBefore(x) will make the savant remember x. I should change the story and the 2 functions to "remember this terrorist" and "is this a terrorist?" or something like that.
