ooooOOOOO
good stuff jiri
i was thinking find(1,{somerecursivemumbojumbo}) might save our arse here
sumfin like splitting the sequence into successive halves, using carl's
oneliner in the center of that to process the successive halves, making
each value get set to 0 if it was under another value in recursive
succession
and using find(1,result) to pull out that very last true to show us the
location/index of the highest/lowest singular value remaining....
yer's is really close to that premise by rotating thru pairs of next door
neighbor values and continously repicking the highest/lowest from those
kissing cousins....
kind of a bubble sort thing going there...
well done :)

we are close ;)
