/**
* Method: naive simulation.
*
* Author: Catalin Francu
*
* Details: in the general case we can use Dijkstra's algoritm. When all
* altitudes are distinct, however, then for every interesting climbers'
* position exactly one of the climbers is in a node; the other one is in the
* middle of a segment. Therefore, vertices in the graph have degree at most
* 2, meaning there is a single path and we can simply follow it until the
* climbers meet.
