Why not just an isequal(correct,result) in the tests?
Consequently, a lot of solutions leave duplicates in the result.

ah, i didn't realize that you could leave duplicates in the final result and still have it pass the test cases; nicely done

This is indeed a very good solution!

There should probably be a test to detect this.
