To admins (idea about new problem)
Posted by vortexxx192 [ONPU] 11 Jan 2014 08:17
Hi!
That is no surprise for you that O(N*logN) solution using C++ map<int, int> fits in 1 second perfectly.
An idea is to create a problem "Order: version 2" with lower time limit (0.5 sec or something like that) and, maybe, higher amount of input. For what? Just for saying "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"© to O(N*logN) solutions and giving a chance only to O(N) algorithms (like Boyer-Moore Majority Vote Algorithm). And difficulty, of course, should be increased correspondingly.
Thanks for attention. Long live Timus!

Looks like they take your advice, although not exactly.
But not we can not get pass by using map.
