/**
 * Count symbol frequencies. Choose a symbol at random and count the
 * frequencies of other symbols to its left and right. Then solve each side
 * recursively.
 *
 * The recurrence for the number of queries is
 *
 * Q(n) = num_symbols_used_in_subproblem - 1 + 2 Q(n / 2)
 *
 * This performs sigma - 1 queries for larger subproblems, but only n - 1 when
 * n < sigma. Computing the sum by hand yields a theoretical maximum of N(2 +
 * log sigma), or 33,500 for the given parameters, although in practice it
 * never exceeds 24,000.
 *
 * The implementation wastes a factor of sigma. We could shave it off by
 * storing subproblems as pairs <symbol, frequency> for symbols in use (as
 * opposed to all the sigma frequencies).
