Description
Given two integer arrays x and y of length n, choose three distinct indices i, j, and k such that all three corresponding x values are pairwise distinct:
- x[i] != x[j]
- x[j] != x[k]
- x[k] != x[i]
Maximize y[i] + y[j] + y[k] and return the largest achievable sum.
If no valid triplet exists, return -1.
