2016 US Open Bronze Bronze Problem 1. Diamond Collector

For USACO 2016 US Open Contest, Bronze Problem 1. Diamond Collector, my code is failing on some test cases

http://www.usaco.org/index.php?page=viewproblem2&cpid=639

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

void setIO(string name = “”){
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(0); cin.tie(0);
if(name.size()){
freopen((name+".in").c_str(), “r”, stdin);
freopen((name+".out").c_str(), “w”, stdout);
}
}

	setIO("diamond");
	int n, k, t = 0, tt= 0;
	cin >> n >> k;
	int d[n];	
	vector<int> allowed;
	for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
		cin >> d[i];
	}
	if(n == 1){
		cout << 1 << "\n";
		return 0;
	}
	for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
		allowed.push_back(d[i]);
		for(int j = i + 1; j < n; j++){
			int x = 0;
			for(int o = 1; o <= allowed.size(); o++){
				if(abs(d[j] - allowed[o - 1]) <= k){
					x += 1;
				}
				if(o == (allowed.size())){
					if(x == (allowed.size())){
						allowed.push_back(d[j]);
						tt = allowed.size();
						t = max(t, tt);
						break;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		allowed.clear();
	}
	
	cout << t << "\n";
	return 0;
}```



I looked at the internal solution on the USACO module, and I saw that they sorted the vector with all the values, but I don't know why mine is failing for some test cases.
