    This is the lousiest explanation possible. At its core it is a mathematical problem and they attempt to present it like a real-world issue. The problem is they've dressed it up as little more than lip stick on a pig. It's manifestly obvious the lip stick isn't helping describe or understand this problem.

    The explanation presents like they want you to form an elite team, but then the output of the first test case contradicts this. Evidenced by the first test case having a team chocked full of low skill set members - all negative numbers. What is this bullock, " largest smaller team size though"? It's a clear clash of terms "largest smaller." What?!#$? Largest in what sense?
