Problem 492. Find best placement for ordered dominoes (harder)
Given a list of ordered pairs, find the order they should be placed in a line, such that the sum of the absolute values of the differences is minimized.
list = [1 2 5 3 2 4
order = [1 3 2]
yields: [1 2][2 4][5 3] or: abs(2-2) + abs(4-5) or: 0 + 1 or: 1
There is a unique best solution, but the score is NOT always zero.
