  1. Play the same game with [ mn + 1 ] replaced by Q . As π = x 1 x 2 . . . is built, also build the increasing list I : 1. Initially I = ǫ , the empty sequence. 2. If I = y 1 y 2 . . . when x i is picked, have x i replace the smallest y j > x i or append x i to the right end of I if no such y j exists. Ex. π = 4 2 5 3 1 6 I : 4 , 2 , 2 5 , 2 3 , 1 3 , 1 3 6 ǫ, Since 6 was placed in the third column of I we have an increasing subsequence of length three ending at 6, e.g., 2 3 6.
