TopicSorting Algorithms
TypeDeducing Original List Properties
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This question requires students to work backwards from a partially sorted state to deduce properties of the original list, which demands deeper understanding of sorting algorithm mechanics than simply executing the algorithm forward. However, it remains a structured exercise with clear constraints typical of D1/FD1 content, making it moderately above average but not requiring exceptional insight.
