    Publicly declaring my intention to cheat was a calculated risk, but boy am I bad at math  commented on Aug. 3, 2024, 12:14 p.m.

    To clarify:

    1. The output will not contain empty lines to seperate each test case (contrary to the test cases in waterloo website)
    2. The input is not alphabetically ordered because when using set for this problem, I got WA.

      Lol. Same. I was wondering why my code didn't work even though the test case looks correct.
