in thread How to code this?

Sorry, but I simply do not see how you think anything in this post will help solve the problem.

To me every computer program is "dynamic". If it were static, there would be no need to write a program to solve it.

The problem is difficult to describe, because: it doesn't fit with commonly described patterns; has a couple of edge cases need to be handled; but most because it is difficult to express in words.

Having re-read your post 4 times to convince myself I wasn't missing anything, all I see is meaningless words.

    I believe what he means by "dynamic" is the computer science concept of dynamic programming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    When I read your question that was the first thing to pop in my head and somebody else here has pointed it out by breaking the problem down into processing 2 arrays at a time (skipping couples already processed).

    Feel free to disregard this if you already know computer science

      Hm. I think not.

      Have you ever heard anyone who understands the principles of dynamic programming, contrast a problem as "dynamic rather than static"?

      And did you read his latest?
