Can you elaborate?

From the article:

> Farach-Colton, Krapivin and Kuszmaul wanted to see if that same limit also applied to non-greedy hash tables. They showed that it did not by providing a counterexample, a non-greedy hash table with an average query time that’s much, much better than log x.



Sibling comment above says funnel hashing is greedy, elastic hashing was the non-greedy method that did even better.
