Game of Thrones Warriors

-
I have seen many of Game of Thrones fans who desperately and childishly compare the characters of Game of Thrones to know who will win if X and Y have a fight. This grew with every one-on-one fights.
  1. Ned Stark vs. Jaime Lannister (Season 1)
  2. The Hound vs. The Mountain (Season 1)
  3. Jaime Lannister vs. Brienne of Tarth (Season 3)
  4. Prince Oberyn vs. The Mountain (Season 4)
  5. Brienne vs. The Hound (Season 4)

The winner in each of these fights can not be determined due to circumstances and fitness level.
  1. Ned Stark vs. Jaime Lannister - Ned Stark had become old and fat, certainly not at his best
  2. The Hound vs. The Mountain - Hound was protecting Loras as well as he was aware of presence of the king
  3. Jaime Lannister vs. Brienne - Jaime was chained
  4. Red Viper vs. The Mountain - Red Viper was emotional
  5. Brienne vs. The Hound - Hound was biten by Biter, which began to fester due to Hound's fear of cauterizing with fire.

We fans can deduce the better of Red Viper vs The Mountain. Prince Oberyn was clearly better than Mountain. He was just too emotional to avenge his sister's death.

Let's list down all the good warriors, mentioned in the series, worth listing down
  1. Ned Stark
  2. Jaime Lannister
  3. Khal Drogo
  4. Robert Baratheon
  5. Jorah Mormant
  6. Sandor Clegane - The Hound
  7. Gregor Clegane - The Mountain
  8. Daario Naharis
  9. Loras Tyrell
  10. Jaqen H'ghar
  11. Syrio Forel
  12. Brienne
  13. Oberyn Martell
  14. Rhaegar Targerean
  15. Arthur Dayne
  16. Barristan Selmy
  17. Brandon Stark - Ned's elder brother

Let's analyse now.

Rhaegar Targerean defeated Arthor Dayne (competitive), Barristan Selmy and Brandon Stark in Tourney of Harranhal. 
Barristan Selmy considers Arthor Dayne over himself. 
Ned Stark was certainly not better than his brother, as the best of the house participated in Tourney.
Ned Stark defeated Arthor Dayne outnumbering him 7 to 3, so that doesn't count.
Ned Stark mentioned Arthor Dayne would have killed him if not for Howland Reed.
Robert Baratheon killed Rhaegar Targarean (2 cousins fighting over Lyanna Stark).

That makes
  1. Robert Baratheon
  2. Rhaegar Targarean
  3. Arthor Dayne
  4. Brandon Stark/Barriston Selmy
  5. Ned Stark

Jaime Lannister mentions to Brienne that there are only 3 warriors who have chances to defeat him. Those 3 were The Mountain, Barriston Selmy, Loras Tyrell (or The Hound). 
Jaime also mentions before Red Viper vs The Mountain that if he had both of his hand, he might have had chances to kill Mountain. 
That makes Mountain over Jaime.
Hound and Mountain are alike in combats, probably Mountain is superior.
Brienne defeated Jaime and Hound both in one-on-one combat, under circumstances. But the two combats at least makes Brienne equal.
Brienne defeated Loras Tyrell fair and square without any circumstance advantage.
Red Viper would have defeated The Mountain.
Jaime and Ned Stark had a fight without result.
Hound and Mountain was also without result.

That makes
  1. Oberyn Martell/Barristan Selmy
  2. The Mountain/Barriston Selmy
  3. The Hound/Jaime Lannister/Brienne
  4. Ned Stark
  5. Loras Tyrell

Khal Drogo, Jorah Mormont, Daario Naharis, Jaqen H'ghar and Syrio Forel have been in many fights, but not with the warriors we are ranking.
Khal Drogo can be named superior as he never lost, he was too strong and too agile for his size as well.
Rest are not known to be great fighters, though we haven't seen them lose. So lets keep them last.

Here goes my final ranking, though I am no expert.
  1. Robert Baratheon/Khal Drogo
  2. Rhaegar Targarean
  3. Arthur Dayne
  4. Barristan Selmy/Brandon Stark
  5. Oberyn Martell
  6. The Mountain
  7. The Hound/Jaime Lannister/Brienne
  8. Ned Stark
  9. Jorah Mormont
  10. Loras Tyrell
  11. Daario Naharis/Syrio Forel/Jaqen H'ghar

Caterpillar Uneaten Leaves Problem – HackerEarth Interview Question

-
QUESTION DESCRIPTION K caterpillars are eating their way through N leaves. Each caterpillar falls from leaf to leaf in a unique sequence. All caterpillars start at a twig in position 0 and fall onto the leaves at positions between 1 and N. Each caterpillar i has an associated ‘jump-number’ j. A caterpillar with jump number j eats leaves at positions that are multiples of j. It will proceed in the order j, 2j, 3j, … till it reaches the end of the leaves, then it stops and builds its cocoon. Given a set A of K elements, K ≤ 15, N ≤ 10^9, N >> K, we need to determine the number of uneaten leaves. Input Format: N = number of leaves K = number of caterpillars A = Array of integer jump numbers (one per line). Output Format: An integer denoting the number of uneaten leaves. Sample Input: 10 3 2 4 5 Sample Output: 4 Explanation [2,4,5] is the 3-member set of jump numbers. All leaves which are multiples of 2, 4, and 5 are eaten. Leaves 1,3,7,9 are left, and so th...

Premise             My housemates and I shut off the house lights and household appliances from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 27 to participate in the annual Earth Hour event. We (Murli, Satish and I) went to our terraces. Murli and Satish are school friends. So they told me about their school days fun.             In their school, the girls had separate 2 rows on one side and boys had separate 3 rows on other. But Murli always used to be near or in girls row. He used to eat their Tiffin’s. There was a villainous boy in the school, who used to hate Satish. The boy was fat and was nicknamed Motu. Though he did not had much problem with Murli, but some way I remembered the guy as villain in Murli’s school who hated him too. Dream             In the dream, Murli and I were in same school. He, I and 2 hotties (...

The Undertaker - A True Legend

Image
I am one of the lucky ones who can proudly say I grew up watching the Undertaker situp, every time he is down on the mat, since 1995, the first time WWF was telecasted in India. I was hardly 8 years old when I first saw him on black and white television. I don't know how I remember it but I guess I remember it because the Undertaker's situp and gaining power from the urn was not something we regularly see on television. It was supernatural. I remember watching the highlights of his casket match with Yokozuna, where the Undertaker fought with almost every heal on the roster. I remember his match with the imposter Undertaker, who later played the Undertaker in a Bollywood movie Khiladiyon ka Khiladi; and like most Indians, even I thought he was the real one for more than 7 years. I remember few of his deadly matches with Mankind, even the one where he threw Mankind from the top of the cell twice. I remember the debut of Kane, and we kids decla...
