Try search term "collision", or there may be an undergrad Data
structures and algorithms coarse online-- you want something covering
"cycle finding".
(Though even ignoring efficient cycle finding, your factorial argument
doesn't hold... you can simply sort the data... Search term
"quicksort" for a relevant algorithm).
