Genuine ties split by name or partial countback · case 05
Athletes identical on every criterion receive different places.
Case contract
High jump placing. records rows are [name, [[height_cm, attempts], ...]] where attempts is a string of X (failure), O (clearance) or "-" (pass). Best height is the highest cleared. Rank by best height descending, then fewest failures at the best height, then fewest total failures at heights up to and including the best; athletes equal on all three share the place (the next place is skipped). Athletes without a clearance come last with place None in name order. Return [place, name, best].
Why this case matters
Vertical jump results depend on countback rules that are easy to misapply.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| boundary true tie shares place | [[1, "Ade", 180], [2, "Cy", 180], [3, "Bo", 177]] | [[1, "Ade", 180], [1, "Cy", 180], [3, "Bo", 177]] | Failed |
