There are two solutions there. One shows how to use uniq, which 
is why i posted this since you said that it doesn't work as you 
expected. I didn't suggest you to write a full double loop dedup. 
routine, i.e àla Golang. Unfortunately the site doesn't allow to 
link the solutions of a particular language among those who 
implement the idiom.
