Problem Brief
Determine the Elimination Order (MLE)
INTERNOA
Given the competition results, determine the elimination order. For example:
Input:
[["Tom 20", "Sam 10"], ["Sam 20", "Tom 10"]]
In the first round, Tom takes the longest time and gets eliminated. In the second round, only Sam remains, so their score is valid and added to the output list.
Output:
["Tom", "Sam"]
Edge case: If scores are tied, all tied contestants are eliminated simultaneously.
