Algorithm: Start at South Africa. Traverse the continent east-to-west, moving gradually northwards, and examining each object you see to check if it's an elephant.
Uses: finding elephants.

You have to keep looking over you shoulder because when, e.g. you move eastwards (and a bit
to the north) those darn elephants on the west side of you, tend to move to the south sometimes.
Dual algorithms: count all things and subtract all things not being elephants.

Genetic Algorithm Method to Count Elephants:
Have lots of babies. Wait till they're sixteen and throw them into Africa telling them to count elephants. After 1 year, have a family reunion and ask them to tell you how many they saw. Kill all the ones that didn't count as many as some threshold. Have the surviors have lots of kids, with each other. Have them repeat the process. Keep it up and it'll converge to the right number, as long as they don't die from a horrible genetic disease.

A. I don't think I can have babies. No uterus found. Pls advise.
B. Your fitness function doesn't guarantee that your babies are counting unique elephants. Its not much help if your kids count the same elephant 1 billion times.
New and Improved Genetic Algorithm Method to Count Elephants:
Break into an orphanage. Steal as many kids as possible. Wait till they're sixteen
and give them a tagger. The tagger allows them to determine if they counted an
elephant before. Throw them into Africa telling them to count
elephants. After 1 year, have a non-family reunion and
ask them to tell you how many they saw. Kill all the
ones that didn't count as many as some threshold. Check the
tagger to ensure that the count was accurate.
