I was originally thinking of that solution, but you missed the requirement he states above - extra Ends need to be discarded, but the extra Ends are not determined by what's leftover once you traverse the entire list, but any Ends you encounter along the way that exceed the number of Begins you've seen so far - for example, the case where End #7 is discarded, but End #10 is not in his original post. In your example, End #7 would be paired up against Begin #8, and End #9 would be paired against End #10, which isn't allowed.
