Hi,

A* sorted *integer array contains elements in pairs. All the pairs are
complete except one element whose pair is missing. Find that element.

Ex.   { 1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5}
 result = 5

There is a standard solution which returns an XOR of all the elements. But
this needs O(n) time complexity. The person who asked me this question said
that this can be done in < O(n). Maybe we can eliminate some elements.
Anyone knows how to do this?


Cheers,
Atul
