New submission from Calvin Davis <mynameiscalvinda...@gmail.com>:

See attached image

The behavior of min() (and probably max and other related functions) changes 
depending on the order of the parameters it sorts.

In the image, I sorted two tuples, coordinate points, with the same Y value and 
different X values. When the X values were in increasing order, finding the 
minimum x value and minimum y value were the same. However if the list was 
reversed, finding the minimum x and y values in the list provided different 
results.
