Problem 61025. The Case of the Missing Prototype – Check for Overlapping Alibis Between Suspects to Spot Inconsistencies

Each suspect in the case has provided an alibi — a time interval [start end] representing when they claim to have been elsewhere.You’ve compiled all alibis into a matrix A, where each row represents one suspect’s start and end time.
Your task is to determine if any two suspects’ alibis overlap in time.
If even one pair overlaps, return true; otherwise, return false.
