I found an interesting question on another OJ. I'm very bad at these types of questions (any suggestions to improve are also welcome).

For you all here this will be easy cake, I appreciate any help you can provide for me.

I tried 2 pointers-greedy, but I realized that the players will not always take the largest values from each of the left/right pointers of the array. I'm very stuck and can't find a way.

Any ideas/hints/suggestions (not too revealing). I really don't want to look up the solution before getting it myself.

Thanks
