Cool

[@gabrielk2295]

Weird but it seems to work :)

[@Erlisch1337]

no idea how

[@GregHogg]

Yeah this one is not so intuitive

[@SeltonMR]

The second solution is boyer-moore voting algorithm

[@gabrielk2295]

@@GregHogg yes intuitively it means that you try to find one number that will be in majority comparing to the other numbers. If one number can "stay alive" (ah ah ah ah...) it means he is in majority.
I did not know that Algo. Really nice! Thanks

[@GregHogg]

@@gabrielk2295 Haha love the reference. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Blafasel3]

Calling it "count" in the second example is misleading. Its more like a weight or something like that. :D

[@GregHogg]

Good point yeah

[@hlubradio2318]

I stopped at the first solution lol

[@GregHogg]

Haha fair but please understand the second one!
