+# Task 1: Kill and Win
+# Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
+# 
+# You are given a list of integers.
+# 
+# Write a script to get the maximum points. You are allowed to take out (kill) any integer and remove from the list. However if you do that then all integers exactly one-less or one-more would also be removed. Find out the total of integers removed.
+#
+# Example 1
+# Input: @int = (2, 3, 1)
+# Output: 6
+# 
+# First we delete 2 and that would also delete 1 and 3. So the maximum points we get is 6.
+# 
+# Example 2
+# Input: @int = (1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3)
+# Output: 11
+# 
+# First we delete 2 and that would also delete both the 1's and the 3. Now we have (2, 2).
+# Then we delete another 2 and followed by the third deletion of 2. So the maximum points we get is 11.
