ZNANSTVE - ZNANSTVENIK
In this economy, we all know how hard it is to get a job. Mirko, a recent college graduate, however, got lucky - he is now employed as a runeologist by the Language Institute of Croatia. His friend Slavko believes runeology isn’t a science and is hence angry at Mirko for believing the opposite. One foggy Christmas day, Mirko’s laptop broke. Since he isn’t great with computers, he gave it to Slavko to repair it. Slavko, feeling a little naughty, decided to mess up a particular file Mirko was working on.
This file contains a matrix of R rows and C columns. Each element of the matrix is a single letter. No two columns of the matrix are equal. To have some fun with pseudo-scientist Mirko, Slavko decided he will delete as many rows as possible from the top of the table, without breaking the no-equal-column rule.
Input
The first line of input contains two integers R and C (2 ≤ R, C ≤ 1000), the number of rows and the number of columns, respectively.
In each of the next R lines there are C lowercase letters of the English alphabet. These R x C letters represent Mirko’s table (which does not have two columns the same.)
Output
Output a single integer, the maximum number of rows which can be deleted from the top of the table so that no two columns are equal.
Example
Input: 2 6 dobarz adatak Output: 0
Input: 3 4 alfa beta zeta Output: 2
Input: 4 6 mrvica mrvica marica mateja Output: 1

There are blanklines between rows, nasty trap for line-reading languages when input is made of strings! |

the only difference between my second last and third last submissions is declaring the variable max as local and global...yet one gives TLE while other gives WA..how is that possible? |

If you delete row 1 and 2, columns 1 and 6 will be identical with "aa", so you can delete only one. |
