Problem 39. Which values occur exactly three times?

Difficulty:Rate

Return a list of all values (sorted smallest to largest) that appear exactly three times in the input vector x. So if

 x = [1 2 5 2 2 7 8 3 3 1 3 8 8 8]

then

 y = [2 3]

i have used a loop construct for this but apparently there are far faster ways (length: 20ish instead of 80-100)
