Etymology

The subspecific name, murrayi, is in honor of American zoologist Leo Tildon Murray (1902–1958).[4]

gollark: #13 is clearly yours, though, as it has words like "continuation-passing style" and "tail recursion" in it.
gollark: ```python for _ in range(m - len(str(x))): s = "0" + s```I mean, Python almost certainly has a function for this already.
gollark: #16 is oddly nonidiomatic, and not just because of the whole "makes `ls` do all the sorting" thing.
gollark: They're not in this.
gollark: I wonder who wrote #14, the weird bitshifty one.
