I don't undestand the necessity for the second part of scarface's solution. If the number does occur at least 1+(n/2) times, the median has to be that number itself. Why do we need to check whether it occurs 1+(n/2) times.

Perhaps he doesn't trust that the input is valid, or he wants to go beyond the call of duty and give the number of times it occurs.
It's not necessary though. And I think a general 'find the median' algorithm would be a bit heavy for this problem (although linear, it would have a higher constant factor).

Is it possible to add checkboxes to each post and simply put a multiple quote button at the end of the page, which will run through all the checkboxes and call quotes on each of them?? Does yabb allow for this?
I don't know whether YaBB has that option; it has a lot of options that aren't used on this board, though (a number of which were turned off in the last update, way back, to cut down the strain on the server).

One can do this on the clientside instead of the serverside if its a possibility??
It should be possible to do it clientside, by making an appropriate greasemonkey-userscript.  
So if anyone wants to volunteer making one... Wink

 9   riddles / cs / Re: rectangle overlapping  Today at 6:59am 
Started by cuckoo | Last post by gotit
I assume that there is someway to differentiate the rectangles e.g by assigning numbers to them.
Create a hash table in which each entry corresponds to a rectangle and is identified by the rectangle number.An entry corresponding to rect i contains the following information:
 
i) the color of rectangle i
ii) a list  in which each entry contains info about a overlap e.g. if rect j ovelaps rect i, then their will be an entry in the list corresponding to rect j. This info will contain the rect number that overlaps rect i (j in this case)and the portion of rect i that it overlaps.Likewise there will be an entry corresponding to all such overlaps.
 
When you click on rectangle i, the following steps are taken.
 
i) Traverse the list corresponding to rectangle i. For an entry corresponding to rectangle j in this list, goto the list for j and insert an entry corresponding to rect i(bcoz now rect j will be covered by rectangle i). Do this for all entries in the list of rect i.
 
ii) When the list for rect i has been completely traversed,delete the list completely.(An empty list for  a rectangle means that it is not overlapped by any other rectangle).
