Ambiguous PermutationsProblem code: PERMUT2 |
All submissions for this problem are available.
Some programming contest problems are really tricky: not only do they
require a different output format from what you might have expected, but
also the sample output does not show the difference. For an example,
let us look at permutations.
A permutation of the integers 1 to n is an
ordering of
these integers. So the natural way to represent a permutation is
to list the integers in this order. With n = 5, a
permutation might look like 2, 3, 4, 5, 1.
However, there is another possibility of representing a permutation:
You create a list of numbers where the i-th number is the
position of the integer i in the permutation.
Let us call this second
possibility an inverse permutation. The inverse permutation
for the sequence above is 5, 1, 2, 3, 4.
An ambiguous permutation is a permutation which cannot be
distinguished from its inverse permutation. The permutation 1, 4, 3, 2
for example is ambiguous, because its inverse permutation is the same.
To get rid of such annoying sample test cases, you have to write a
program which detects if a given permutation is ambiguous or not.
Input Specification
The input contains several test cases.
The first line of each test case contains an integer n
(1 ≤ n ≤ 100000).
Then a permutation of the integers 1 to n follows
in the next line. There is exactly one space character
between consecutive integers.
You can assume that every integer between 1 and n
appears exactly once in the permutation.
The last test case is followed by a zero.
Output Specification
For each test case output whether the permutation is ambiguous or not. Adhere to the format shown in the sample output.
Sample Input
4 1 4 3 2 5 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 0
Sample Output
ambiguous not ambiguous ambiguous

Program should read from standard input and write to standard output.
After you submit a solution you can see your results by clicking on the [My Submissions] tab on the problem page. Below are the possible results:
- Accepted
Your program ran successfully and gave a correct answer. If there is a score for the problem, this will be displayed in parenthesis next to the checkmark. - Time Limit Exceeded
Your program was compiled successfully, but it didn't stop before time limit. Try optimizing your approach. - Wrong Answer
Your program compiled and ran succesfully but the output did not match the expected output. - Runtime Error
Your code compiled and ran but encountered an error. The most common reasons are using too much memory or dividing by zero. For the specific error codes see the help section. - Compilation Error
