TimDee's blog

By TimDee, history, 13 months ago, In English

Hello everyone! RMI 2023 happened this week, 11-14 October. This blogpost is to discuss problems for those who participated onsite or in online mirror contest.

[Spoiler alert] avoid this post if you don't want spoilers for problems [/spoiler alert]

Personally I wonder whether anyone solved day1A like me, by heavily optimizing original DP solution to pass under 200ms or by precalculating all values like some of people I talked to did.

Also I'm curious about people's solutions to day2C that would get significant score.

Feel free to ask/answer/discuss in comments.

Btw I hope TimDee didn't cheat today

Considering his recent history, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

For day2C randomly pick one of the first $$$k1$$$ smallest pairs and continue doing so until you found a solution.

Perform this process $$$k2$$$ times. By choosing appropriate values for $$$k1$$$ and $$$k2$$$ one could get a variety of scores. The least I got was around 70 and max was 82.53.


I think this year's problems were of much lower quality compared to 2020/2021/2022 editions. In any case it's fun to see a problem like day2C in an OI contest.

    On 2C, interesting, cause picking pairs with smallest cost gave me 55 points. To further optimize it you cold go through each 2 pairs and look if swapping nodes among them would decrease cost. That's what gives 66.xy points.

    And yeah, it was very fun as OI problem and tiebreaker.

    About problemset I can disagree, in my opinion it was much better than, at least, 2022. Day 1 was like average problemset you can have at rmi, and day 2 imo was very good as an OI contest
