- Approach
- sorted-bisect
- Physical microVM & fork
- sb-01m55qf2t7vbfr2jd2z315mtf8 ← physically forked from paused VM sb-01m55qessrtxsccap1d6j0ntr8

- f5709b076b09b493859df7eaec85f6e3b417a33bc25a8e48993d10c7688f05c6
- Correctness tests
- 60/60 (phase: benchmark)
- Candidate / baseline median
- 6.515 ms (raw: 6.514931000000335) / 6.661 ms (raw: 6.660694999999883) · 0.98× baseline · parity within measurement noise
- Timing methodology
- Authoritative supervisor wall-clock minus null-roundtrip IPC overhead (3 distinct datasets) · single-shot root cross-check agreement=False
- Generation / evaluation wall
- 1867.939 ms (raw: 1867.939365998609) / 586.520 ms (raw: 586.5196459999424)
- Selection outcome
- correctness/test count first; fastest supervisor-measured median among tied passing candidates; noisy finite-run estimate
- Model explanation
- Sort list b once, then for each element in a, use binary search to count how many elements in b yield a sum within [lower, upper]. This achieves O(n log n + m log n) time and handles duplicates correctly via bisect functions.
