Here's a relevant discussion [0].

Reminds me of the joke we used to tell to illustrate the
difference between a one-pass algorithm and a two-pass
algorithm.

An elderly woman was riding a bus in an unfamiliar part of
town, and was unsure which stop to take. She saw a little
boy who seemed to know what he was doing, since he was
obviously acting very nonchalant. She asked him whether
he knew where her stop was, and he replied "Sure, lady.
Just watch me, and get off one stop before I do." Of course,
he gives a two-pass algorithm when she only has a one-pass
option.
