> I know the OPs spec is rather cryptic but my understanding was, that the values are to be blanked out if the max occurs more than once.

hmm ... ok my understanding was to discard if all are maximum, see (3,3,3)

But your definition is indeed closer to the naming highlander, maybe peak was better.

For highlander compare with [-2] if there are more than 2 elements.

BTW: "cryptic" is an euphemism for incompetent ... if you can't express such a problem in words you don't deserve being called a programmer.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
