very clever man

It seems to me that there is some kind of error with the tests, I pass the Sample_tests, but I cannot pass the Basic_tests, although, as I understand it, they contain the same tests as in the Sample_tests. Am I wrong?

done at some point

and this works?? lol

Some operators in C++ have synonyms.

Sometimes when you are checking your solution by printing out each one of the instrutions make the buffer to get full. That is why the system tells it is timed out. Same thing happened to me, so I deleted the cout. All the problem got fixed.

Use spoiler flag next time.

Well, it doesn't matter, right?
At the end of the day, the question is how many guys are left with their cock dry, no which ones.

I wonder about cases were we have for instance 1 woman (9) and 2 chads (9). Which of the two gets the woman? There is no tie breaker for these cases, and I passed the tests without implementing any tiebreaker. Are tests designed we needen't to worry about such cases at all ever happening?

but if there are two 10 chads and 3 chicks, can one of them get 2 chicks?

Yes

why 2 ?

IMHO in C++ the right way to do that would not be to templatize the sh.., but much simpler to behave like some STL algorithms and have a "ring class contructor" taking begin() and end() as parms.
I rank it 4 kyu "Advanced design patterns"...

It's very simple, although it contains a magic number which isn't great practice unless if it's self-explanatory. The 3 here is self-explanatory but the 2 is not. Things like this should be labeled with a comment or set as a variable.

i mean yea, how i didn't think about it. Any books recomendation for algorithms?
