Let $$$a \le b$$$. Let's consider several cases:

• If $$$a$$$ is even, then we can cut the rectangle into two rectangles of size $$$\frac{a}{2} \times b$$$ and combine them into a rectangle of size $$$\frac{a}{2} \times 2b$$$, which is definitely different from $$$a \times b$$$.

• If $$$b$$$ is even and $$$b \ne 2a$$$, then we can cut the rectangle into two rectangles of size $$$a \times \frac{b}{2}$$$ and combine them into a rectangle of size $$$2a \times \frac{b}{2}$$$. Note that here we use the fact that $$$b \ne 2a$$$, because if $$$b = 2a$$$, then we will get the same rectangle of size $$$b \times a$$$.

• If $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ are both odd, or $$$b = 2a$$$ and $$$a$$$ is odd, then the rectangle is not interesting. It is easy to understand that if we cut the rectangle of size $$$a \times b$$$ into two rectangles of size $$$a \times c$$$ and $$$a \times d$$$, where $$$c \ne d$$$, then we can always only combine the original rectangle (similarly if we cut it into rectangles $$$c \times b$$$ and $$$d \times b$$$). And from here it follows that we must divide one of the sides of the rectangle in half, so at least one side must be even.

Suppose we already know the permutation that needs to be added. Let's consider the elements that will become equal after the addition. Notice that among them there cannot be equal elements, because among the numbers we are adding, there are no duplicates. Thus, only a set of numbers among which there are no equal ones, and the difference between the maximum and minimum does not exceed $$$n - 1$$$, can become equal. It is easy to see that any set of numbers satisfying these conditions can be equalized, and any set of numbers that became equal after adding the permutation satisfies these constraints.

So let's sort the array, remove the equal elements from it. After that, we can use two pointers to find the maximum length subarray where the difference between the maximum and minimum does not exceed $$$n - 1$$$. The answer will be the length of such a subarray. The complexity of the solution is $$$O(n \log n)$$$.

All numbers repeat every $$$2k - 2$$$ positions. If the boy Vasya's number is calculated to be $$$x$$$, then it can be at positions of the form $$$(2k - 2) \cdot t + x$$$, or $$$(2k - 2) \cdot t + k + k - x$$$, for some non-negative $$$t$$$. This is true for all $$$x$$$, except for $$$x = 1$$$ and $$$x = k$$$ ~--- for these values, there is only one option left.

Let's fix one of the options, the second one will be analogous. We need to find how many different values of $$$k$$$ satisfy the equation $$$(2k - 2) \cdot t + x = n$$$, for some non-negative $$$t$$$. It is not difficult to see that this holds if and only if $$$n - x$$$ is divisible by $$$2k - 2$$$. Therefore, it is necessary to find the number of \textbf{even} divisors of the number $$$n - x$$$. To consider the second case, it is necessary to proceed similarly with the number $$$n + x - 2$$$. The solution's complexity: $$$O(\sqrt{n})$$$

Let's learn how to solve the problem when $$$n = 1$$$. Suppose there is only one race and the number of its representatives is $$$c$$$. Notice that for a fixed $$$k$$$, it is advantageous for us to divide the representatives of the race almost evenly into squads.

If $$$c$$$ is divisible by $$$k$$$, then it is advantageous for us to take exactly $$$y = \frac{c}{k}$$$ beings in each squad. Then the total number of pairs of beings in different squads is equal to $$$\frac{k(k-1)}{2} \cdot y^2$$$ (there are a total of $$$\frac{k(k-1)}{2}$$$ pairs of squads, and for each pair of squads there are $$$y^2$$$ pairs of beings from different squads).

In the general case, when $$$c$$$ may not be divisible by $$$k$$$, let's denote $$$y = \left\lfloor \frac{c}{k} \right\rfloor$$$ and $$$y' = \left\lceil \frac{c}{k} \right\rceil$$$. Then it is advantageous for us to make squads of size $$$y$$$ and $$$y'$$$, where the number of squads of size $$$y'$$$ is equal to $$$c \bmod k$$$ (we essentially make all squads of size $$$y$$$, and then add 1 to some squads from the remaining part). In this case, the total number of pairs of beings in different squads is equal to $$$C_{k - c \bmod k}^2 \cdot y^2 + C_{c \bmod k}^2 \cdot y'^2 + (k - c \bmod k) \cdot (c \bmod k) \cdot y \cdot y'$$$. It remains to notice that it makes no sense to have $$$k \gt c$$$, so we can simply iterate through $$$k$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$c$$$ and choose the optimal one.

When $$$n \gt 1$$$, we can notice that for a fixed $$$k$$$, we can solve the problem independently for each race. Let the number of representatives of the $$$i$$$-th race be $$$c_i$$$. Then we will iterate through $$$k$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$c_i$$$ for it and add the maximum total strength to the value of $$$cnt_k$$$ (the array $$$cnt$$$ is common for all races). Also, notice that for $$$k \gt c_i$$$, we will get the same total strength as for $$$k = c_i$$$. Then in the additional array $$$add$$$ (again, common for all races), we will add the maximum total strength for $$$k = c_i$$$ to $$$add_{c_i}$$$.

We get the following solution: first, calculate the described arrays $$$cnt$$$ and $$$add$$$. After that, iterate through $$$k$$$ from $$$1$$$ to the maximum $$$c_i$$$. The maximum total strength of the squads for a fixed $$$k$$$ will be equal to $$$(cnt_k + (\text{sum of values } add_i \text{ for } i \lt k)) \cdot b - (k - 1) \cdot X$$$. From these values, we need to choose the maximum.

Let's see what the answer will look like: first, there will be a prefix of the form $$$x, x + y, \ldots, x + k\cdot y$$$, and then there will be some number of blocks of the form $$$x \bmod y, x \bmod y + y, \ldots, x \bmod y + k \cdot y$$$.

We can subtract the number $$$x \bmod y$$$ from all the elements of the sequence, and then divide all the elements by $$$y$$$ (all the elements will be divisible by $$$y$$$, since they initially had a remainder of $$$x \bmod y$$$). Let $$$b_1 = \frac{x - x \bmod y}{y}$$$. Then our sequence will start with $$$b_1, b_1 + 1, \ldots, b_1 + k_1$$$, and then there will be blocks of the form $$$0, 1, \ldots, k_i$$$.

Let's calculate these values: $$$dp_i$$$~--- the minimum length of a sequence of blocks of the form $$$0, 1, \ldots, k_j$$$ with a sum of $$$i$$$. This value can be calculated for all numbers from $$$0$$$ to $$$s$$$ using dynamic programming. If we have processed all values from $$$0$$$ to $$$k-1$$$, then for $$$k$$$ we have calculated the minimum length, and we can update the value of $$$dp$$$ for $$$k + 1, k + 1 + 2, \ldots$$$~--- a total of $$$O(\sqrt{s})$$$ values not exceeding $$$s$$$. In this same $$$dp$$$, we can store through which values we were recalculated, for the restoration of the answer.

Now, we can iterate over the length of the first block of the form $$$b_1, b_1 + 1, \ldots, b_1 + k_1$$$. Then we know the sum of the remaining blocks, and using the precalculated $$$dp$$$, we can determine whether the desired sequence can be formed or not.

Let's assume that $$$a_i = a_{i+1}$$$ for some $$$1 \le i \lt n$$$, then for any $$$1 \le j \le m$$$, the cells $$$(i, j)$$$ and $$$(i+1, j)$$$ will have the same transparency. A similar statement can be made if there is an index $$$j$$$: $$$b_j = b_{j+1}$$$.

Then the positions $$$a_i = a_{i+1}$$$ divide the array $$$a$$$ into \textit{blocks}, in each of which all neighboring pairs are not equal to each other. It is clear that if there is a square $$$(x, y, d)$$$ consisting of cells $$$(i, j)$$$ such that $$$x \le i \lt x+d$$$ and $$$y \le j \lt y+d$$$, then the segment $$$[x, x+d-1]$$$ is entirely contained in one of these \textit{blocks} of the array $$$a$$$. Similarly, the array $$$b$$$ can also be divided into blocks, and then the segment $$$[y, y+d-1]$$$ will also be entirely contained in one of the blocks.

Let's try to solve the problem in $$$O(1)$$$ time, if there are no neighboring elements with the same values in the arrays $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ (also assuming that $$$n \le m$$$):

This formula can be further transformed by introducing a quadruple of numbers for each natural number $$$n$$$: $$$a_n = 1$$$, $$$b_n = n$$$, $$$c_n = \frac12 n(n+1)$$$, $$$d_n = \frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1) - \frac12n^2(n+1)$$$. Then $$$f(n, m) = d_n a_m + c_n b_m$$$, if $$$n \le m$$$ and $$$f(n, m) = a_n d_m + b_n c_m$$$, if $$$n \gt m$$$.

But if there are neighboring identical elements in the arrays $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$, then this means that they are somehow divided into blocks. If these are blocks of lengths $$$n_1, \ldots, n_k$$$ in the array $$$a$$$ and blocks of lengths $$$m_1, \ldots, m_l$$$ in the array $$$b$$$, then the answer to the problem is

Let's learn how to quickly calculate sums of the form $$$f(x, m_1) + \ldots + f(x, m_l)$$$. To do this, we will create 4 segment trees to quickly calculate the sums $$$\sum a_y$$$, $$$\sum b_y$$$, $$$\sum c_y$$$, $$$\sum d_y$$$ over segments of $$$y$$$, taking into account the multiplicity of $$$y$$$ in the array $$$m_1, \ldots, m_l$$$. Now the calculation of $$$f(x, m_1) + \ldots + f(x, m_k)$$$ is reduced to $$$4$$$ segment tree queries:

The sum $$$f(n_1, y) + \ldots + f(n_k, y)$$$ is calculated similarly. Now we just need to put our solution together. We will maintain the blocks of arrays $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ in an online mode. It is very convenient to do this by storing the positions $$$a_i = a_{i+1}$$$ in a data structure like std::set, and also by working with the differential array $$$a$$$ (i.e., maintaining not the array $$$a$$$ itself, but the array of differences between neighboring elements $$$c_i = a_{i+1} - a_i$$$). To recalculate the answer, we will count the number of squares that are involved in a specific block of the array $$$a$$$ or $$$b$$$, using the above result. As a result, we have a solution in $$$O((n+q) (\log n + \log m))$$$.

P.S. A solution in $$$O(q \sqrt n)$$$ will not work due to a large constant. I tried very hard to rule it out :D.
