The benchmark time of 10760068ms = 3 hours should already make the test suspicious. If you still dont believe that your test doesnt work, try running it the other way round, the tenary test first, and then the if test.

I didn't even notice that.

@Y_Less what I was talking about was this "Some corporate programming guidelines list the use of the conditional operator as bad practice because it can harm readability and long-term maintainability" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F: however as I now see needs a citation. I got slapped on my wrist once for using it in one of my assignments. (was too lazy to restructure the code so I used about three conditional operators in one line).
