In this problem you'll be given data for a contest in which each
contestant has performed some task in some number of
minutes and seconds. The data will be given for all the tasks in the
format "name time" where name is separated from time
by one space. The time is in the format "min:sec" and
represents how long it took someone to complete
the task. The input
Return a list of contestant names in rank order from winner to
loser. The winningest contestant has performed the most tasks, or
if there is a tie with another contestant in number of tasks,
has performed the tasks most quickly. No contestant will have
performed the same number of tasks in the same time as any
other contestant. See the examples for details.
