Proposed solution

I'll solve this step by step.

## Problem Understanding

1. We have N people, each with an integer A_i
2. We need to find people who are **unique** (no other person has the same integer)
3. Among those unique people, we want the one with the largest integer
4. If no one is unique, return -1

## Approach

1. **Count frequencies**: First, count how many times each integer appears
2. **Find unique people**: Identify people whose integers appear only once
3. **Find maximum among unique**: Among those unique people, find the one with the largest integer
4. **Return result**: Return that person's label, or -1 if none exist

## Step-by-step Solution

### Step 1: Count frequencies of each integer
- Use a dictionary/counter to track how many times each integer appears

### Step 2: Identify unique people
- A person is unique if their integer appears exactly once

### Step 3: Find maximum among unique people
- Among all unique people, find the one with the largest integer value
- If no unique people exist, return -1

### Step 4: Handle edge cases
- What if all integers are the same? (No unique people)
- What if all integers are different? (All are unique)

## Implementation

Let me trace through Sample Input 1:
- N = 9, A = [2, 9, 9, 7, 9, 2, 4, 5, 8]
- Frequencies: {2: 2, 9: 3, 7: 1, 4: 1, 5: 1, 8: 1}
- Unique people (integers appearing once): 7, 4, 5, 8
- Person labels with these integers: 4, 7, 8, 9
- Maximum integer among unique: 8 (person 9)
- Answer: 9

Let me trace Sample Input 2:
- N = 4, A = [1000000000, 1000000000, 998244353, 998244353]
- Frequencies: {1000000000: 2, 998244353: 2}
- Unique people: none (all integers appear more than once)
- Answer: -1

## Code Implementation

```python
from collections import Counter

# Read input
N = int(input())
A = list(map(int, input().split()))

# Count frequency of each integer
freq = Counter(A)

# Find unique people (those with frequency 1) and their labels
unique_people = []
for i in range(N):
    if freq[A[i]] == 1:
        unique_people.append((A[i], i + 1))  # (integer_value, label)

# If no unique people, return -1
if not unique_people:
    print(-1)
else:
    # Find the person with maximum integer value among unique people
    max_person = max(unique_people, key=lambda x: x[0])
    print(max_person[1])  # Print the label
```

Let me verify this with the examples:

Sample 1: A = [2, 9, 9, 7, 9, 2, 4, 5, 8]
- freq = {2: 2, 9: 3, 7: 1, 4: 1, 5: 1, 8: 1}
- unique_people = [(7, 4), (4, 7), (5, 8), (8, 9)]
- max_person = (8, 9)
- Output: 9 ✓

Sample 2: A = [1000000000, 1000000000, 998244353, 998244353]
- freq = {1000000000: 2, 998244353: 2}
- unique_people = []
- Output: -1 ✓

The solution looks correct!
