I am wondering if a bucket is a slot where multiple tuples would go. Like if a dictionary is horizontal, then I am wondering if a bucket then is a vertical slot that can have lots of tuples. Lists within lists.. Then again, perhaps it is just a slot that only holds one key:value pair. I am on Zed Shaw's book in EX 39, and his description is a little odd.
