The Slowest Runner, and Their Lane
Someone has to hand the tired-turtle trophy to the slowest runner. 🐢
You get a list of race times (at least one) — higher time = slower. Lanes are numbered from 1. Print the slowest time and its lane number, separated by a space. First of any ties wins.
Example:
Input: times = [61, 74, 59, 74]
Output: 74 2
The slowest time is 74, first seen at position 1 (lane 2). Strict > keeps that first lane instead of the later tie at lane 4.
