hmm ... ok my understanding was to discard if all are maximum, see (3,3,3)

But your definition is indeed closer to the naming highlander, maybe peak was better.

edit

For highlander compare with [-2] if there are more than 2 elements.

BTW: "cryptic" is an euphemism for incompetent ... if you can't express such a problem in words you don't deserve being called a programmer.
