Think about some job i, i+1. The total time to complete job i+1 (in order of [1 ... i-1] [i] [i+1]) is
T + aiT + bi + ai + 1(T + aiT + bi) + bi + 1
= (ai + 1 + 1)((ai + 1)T + bi) + bi + 1
when T = total time took to complete till job i-1
now think that we process in order of [1 ... i-1] [i+1] [i], then the total time is
(ai + 1)((ai + 1 + 1)T + bi + 1) + bi
Say ci = ai + 1. now, if this inequality holds, it's better to swap job i and i+1.
ci + 1ciT + ci + 1bi + bi + 1 > cici + 1T + cibi + 1 + bi
which is
ci + 1bi + bi + 1 > cibi + 1 + bi
now replace ci to ai, we get :
ai + 1bi > bi + 1ai
So, if above equality holds, we should swap i and i+1. This is essentially angular sort.

Thanks a lot. That's a really nice solution :)
