Your job is to arrange n ill-behaved children in a straight line, facing front. You are given a list of m statements of the form "i hates j". If i hates j, then you do not want put i somewhere behind j, because then i is capable of throwing something at j.
(a) Give an algorithm that orders the line, (or says that it is not possible) in O(m + n) time.
(b) Suppose instead you want to arrange the children in rows such that if i hates j, then i must be in a lower numbered row than j. Give an efficient algorithm to find the minimum number of rows needed, if it is possible.
