Problem statement

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.

Function

determineEliminationOrder(results: String[][]) → String[]
