Let, N be the number which is next in fixed order.
Take an input X , if it is equal to N then next number will be N++. If not, then search for N in the side lane and after finishing the search, put X in the side lane.
After all X is processed but N is not found in either X or side lane, then the order is not possible.

Also there will be multiple testcase and zero will be present after only last testcase. so do take care for that. for ex :
int t;
while(scanf(“%d”,&t) && t!=0)
{
}
The input format seem to be mess up.
P.S : i checked your code and i guess you got logic wrong. Here’s simple explanation http://code.cloudkaksha.org/spoj/spoj-stpar-solution
