	Form a Dynamic Duo of Destiny or a Trio of Triump. Conjure team name portending greatness (TNPG).
	Copypasta this into main method of your java sourcecode file containing methods linSearch and binSearch
	(Boogle.java for almost all of you)
	Verify it works.
	(If any test calls do not yield expected outputs, there is some tuning to be done...
	Probably best to just grab a working version for now.)
	On KtS, with at least 1 tracing buddy, trace out each binSearch() call.

	GOOGLE_SECRET = "get from google dev console"
	GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI = 'set at google dev console'
	DEBUG = True
	SECRET_KEY = 'this is used to sign encrypted session cookies'
