Problem D (DIST_VAL) is available on the internet and is exactly the same. here
All problems till E (the first 5 problems) are so easy to solve even in Div 1. Please raise the standard of questions atleast in Div 1.

You can read the editorial here.
any update on the question DIST_VAL? This contest should be made unrated right?
No.
The problem DIST_VAL was proposed to CodeChef before the GFG blog was published.
 It was uploaded before. So if i propose a problem to codechef today and upload it's solution on the internet, it will still be used in a contest? It's really sad if this is true
