Wouldn't the Right Thing in this case be that hash tables be dynamic?
In other words, to remove the need for the user guess at all (which is

If you're a politician, bureaucrat, or cop whose livelihood depends on
the drug war, you're fully as contemptible as any pusher, smuggler, or
cocaine baron--more so, because, unlike them, you profit directly by
destroying what was once the greatest freedom ever known to mankind.
