Hint: The problem statement asks you to remove friends from the end of the list as necessary. Think carefully about this.

You don't actually have to remove the remaining friends to delete. Instead, just don't print them. Change your while and for to the following code.

Spoiler tags and code blocks don't interact nicely, so the solution code is base 64 encoded.

I believe @EmanuelePaolini is correct in that you're likely getting TLE because of I/O. You're using Scanner, which is way too slow. Try a different input method.

You can try switching to BufferedReader. String.split() is still slow, so you can combine it with StringTokenizer. Here's a sample on ideone.

You don't actually have to remove the remaining friends to delete. Instead, just don't print them. Change your while and for to: for (int j = 0, jmax = inputList.size() - friendsDelete; j < jmax; j++) { System.out.print(inputList.get(j) + " "); }
