+- The **matrix** column contains the input, a JSON-encoded array of arrays of integers.
+- The **result** columns should contain the output, the list of saddle points.
+  The output should be a JSON-encoded array of objects, each object has two keys: row and column.
+  For example, `[{"row": 2, "column": 1}]`.

+# Instructions
+
+Your task is to find the potential trees where you could build your tree house.
+
+The data company provides the data as grids that show the heights of the trees.
+The rows of the grid represent the east-west direction, and the columns represent the north-south direction.
+
+An acceptable tree will be the largest in its row, while being the smallest in its column.
+
+A grid might not have any good trees at all.
+Or it might have one, or even several.
+
+Here is a grid that has exactly one candidate tree.
+
+```text
+      ↓
+      1  2  3  4
+    |-----------
+  1 | 9  8  7  8
+→ 2 |[5] 3  2  4
+  3 | 6  6  7  1
+```
+
+- Row 2 has values 5, 3, 2, and 4. The largest value is 5.
+- Column 1 has values 9, 5, and 6. The smallest value is 5.
+
+So the point at `[2, 1]` (row: 2, column: 1) is a great spot for a tree house.

+# Introduction
+
+You plan to build a tree house in the woods near your house so that you can watch the sun rise and set.
+
+You've obtained data from a local survey company that show the height of every tree in each rectangular section of the map.
+You need to analyze each grid on the map to find good trees for your tree house.
+
+A good tree is both:
+
+- taller than every tree to the east and west, so that you have the best possible view of the sunrises and sunsets.
+- shorter than every tree to the north and south, to minimize the amount of tree climbing.
