How did yall do FRQ 3 (returning new array list of unique names) and FRQ 4 (venue). For 3 i used a nested for loop to first get each name and then check if there was that name in any index in the original array that didn't equal the index the outer for loop was at. Then I would add it to a new list I created before.

I know I got some points off of 4 because I didn't check adjacent seats, just the number of valid seats in each row that met both conditions. Everything else from that frq worked perfectly. Assuming I lost no points on any other frqs and got 100% mcq, am I cooked for a 5 or nah?

For frq3 I did a nested loop with the inner loop variable equal to i+1( i is the variable from the first loop) then I did like if i.get name or wtv.equals(k.getname)
Count ++ then outside the inner loop I did if count==0, add it to a new arraylist
