- Sebb767 3y agoThey must be, because otherwise you'd never be allowed to split or combine to create the final list.
- sltkr 3y agoGood point!
- keefle 3y agoTechnically there are cases in which you can. The repeated values will act like separators that you cannot act on (because once you act on one, as you said one cannot create the final list again), but then it becomes multiple instances of the puzzle which seems pointless
