The real champions in programming are the ones who understand arrays start at zero, not one. That's why the second-place finisher (index [1]) is celebrating like he won the whole thing, while the actual "winner" standing on the [0] podium looks dejected.

It's that classic moment when you realize the person who designed the competition was clearly a programmer. The guy on the [1] podium is living his best life because he knows the truth โ€“ in the array of life, he's actually first. Meanwhile, the poor soul at [0] is wondering why his gold medal tastes like disappointment.
