This thing was not mentioned clearly. It was edited very late after I asked a question on the same. It wasn't clear earlier whether we had to delete the sulist starting and ending at these 2 characters or the whole list till then. In all examples and sample code, the 2 opposing chars came at starting and end, so either way the whole list got cleared, but still the point was not clear.
They edited the problem statement afterwards to include the line "After you invoke an element, if it isn't immediately combined to form another element, and it is opposed to something in your element list, then your *whole element list* will be cleared. " So people who had attempted it earlier thinking the other way round got a wrong answer. -- Tushar Bindal www.jugadengg.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-codejam" group.
