This being an imaginary homework assignment, and thus two steps away from
reality, let me suppose you really don't know exactly when the system will
meltdown, so there is a strong possibility not all data can be sent.
Further suppose it's most important to find out the largest values
measured, and the distribution, so if any data is to be lost, it should be
the small values.  A radix sort/histogram would do the job nicely.
