Give me 5 different ways of finding the median (middle element) of a linked list. For the sake of simplicity, assume the list has odd number of ints. Also mention the runtime for each. Follow up: What's the fastest way you could find the median? What is the runtime? Oh.. and yes, code your answer(s) in any language of your preference.
