Ok, it seems like bucket sort is the best way to do it.  I got 0.06
and to go further we need to use char buffer like the one Wladimir
suggested.
But still i have a doubt that would it be possible to reduce 0.06 to
0.00 using that buffer?

I don't think there can be any possible improvement in logic.
wat do u think?
