I am getting exactly the same output as you for that input and I also am having trouble finding an error.

  I really hope it's not some formatting bullshit like a newline at the end. EDIT: I just tried again without a blank line at the end, and still got INCORRECT. Second attempt data: Input: http://paste.ofcode.org/jCNBZw6vPJT7ryZA4GUziM http://paste.ofcode.org/jCNBZw6vPJT7ryZA4GUziM My incorrect output: http://paste.ofcode.org/eNx74e35rqF54Uvm5bRa8K http://paste.ofcode.org/eNx74e35rqF54Uvm5bRa8K

    Ran both your inputs and get exactly the same results, also can't figure out where's the error. Apparently there's some edge case when you should use different strategy than splitting it in 2 equal piles.

      Finally solved it. Apparently splitting in half isn't always the optimal step, sometimes you have to move a different amount. Example: 9 3 3 6 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1
