Problem Statement for "LongWordsDiv2"

Problem Statement

Fox Ciel likes all the words that have the following properties:
  1. Each letter of the word is an uppercase English letter.
  2. Equal letters are never consecutive.
  3. There is no subsequence of the form xyxy, where x and y are (not necessarily distinct) letters. Note that a subsequence doesn't have to be contiguous.
Examples:
  • Ciel does not like "ABBA" because there are two consecutive 'B's.
  • Ciel does not like "THETOPCODER" because it contains the subsequence "TETE".
  • Ciel does not like "ABACADA" because it contains the subsequence "AAAA". (Note that here x=y='A'.)
  • Ciel likes "A", "ABA", and also "ABCBA".
Given a String word, return "Likes" (quotes for clarity) if Ciel likes word and "Dislikes" if she does not.
