Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the sequence [9, 7, 5, 8, 10], demonstrate that there exists either a strictly increasing or decreasing subsequence.
💡 Hint: Look at the sequence order closely, not all need to be taken together.
Using a custom sequence of 7 distinct numbers, explain how you can derive an increasing subsequence of at least 5.
💡 Hint: Choose wisely to increase; several must be smaller than your larger picks.
