I assume that "index" in this case is for the index in the fully sorted list? i.e. if you're looking for the 50th place in a 100 item list, then it's 50th place in the sorted list you want.
But as you don't know what value that is, how do you know which partition it's in?
(I am feeling very stupid today and hoping someone can explain this to me)
It's not just vehicles. Battery fires from electric bikes and scooters have also caused issues. And currently you can't put a battery pack into plane hold luggage because of fire risks.
Assuming that the spaghetti is being held in such a way that longer pieces hit the surface first. If the pieces are being held at random points, or such that the bottoms line up rather than the tops, then this approach won't work.

I know one kid, now 5, who taught himself to read watching Alphablocks.
My own kids haven't done anything that impressive, but they've certainly enjoyed watching a lot of videos and it doesn't seem to have done them any harm. Doesn't get in the way of doing non-screen things either.
If it was reductions they'd tell you so in the title. If they aren't doing that it's because they're trying to avoid giving you the bad news for as long as possible.
It's more than when minimum wage goes up (which has a similar effect on people at the lowest end of the wage earners - their income goes up by X) the effect is not that food/housing immediately captures all of that X, it captures about 20% of X.
(I appreciate that I'm not offering sources, and am going from memory here. Sorry, if I had the time I would try and track them down.)
Bunch of research on this, and while it does lead to some inflation, so long as competition is acting on the market only a small percentage goes on this.
