Cuckoo hashing. Develop a symbol-table implementation that maintains two hash tables and two hash functions. Any given key is in one of the tables, but not both. When inserting a new key, hash to one of the tables; if the table position is occupied, replace that key with the new key and hash the old key into the other table (again kicking out a key that might reside there). If this process cycles, restart. Keep the tables less than half full. This method uses a constant number of equality tests in the worst case for search (trivial) and amortized constant time for insert.
