The grouchy uncle in the colony has fresh plans for this Halloween season. He has rated the children based on how they behaved over the course of the year and decided that if two kids are in line next to each other and one of them has a higher rating than the other, the kid with the higher rating would receive more candy. However, he made the decision that each youngster would receive at least one sweet because they had travelled a great distance.
