    Rev. 2   Vote: I like it +4 Vote: I do not like it

    Problem C has two versions — C1 (easy) and C2 (hard).

    Solving C1 gives 1250 points, solving C2 gives 750.

    The solution to C2 (most likely) is also a correct solution to C1. Thus, effectively, C1 is worth 1250 and C2 is worth 1250 + 750 = 2000 points.

        Yes

        Or more specifically, similar to other problems, you won't get the full 1250 points — you'll get closer to the 1250 the sooner you solve the problem. Solving it at the very beginning of the contest would give the full 1250, but for example solving it now (at 2 hours 42 minutes into the contest), you'd only get 710 points.

      No, the intended solution with set instead of priority_queue passes in 0.5 s.

      The question is how to make a bad test for my random solution, because it passes random tests locally in $$$\le$$$ 1 s.

    You're correct, that never happens.

    I guess the problemsetters didn't want to spoil anything, as the fact that every game terminates doesn't trivially follow from the way the game is described (before you think about strategy).

Are some of my observations for E incorrect?

  • The only thing which actually matters is the min gap between some $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$, i.e, $$$min(b_i - a_i)$$$.

  • Any move always preserves the parity of this, meaning P1 will always win for an odd value and lose for an even value.

  • The gap between $$$b_{i - 1}$$$ and $$$a_i$$$ doesn't matter since A's movement left / B's movement right is bounded while the other's is unbounded (subject to the loss by parity above).

  • So for each odd gap upto $$$L$$$, we can count the number of ways of the min gap between an $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$ being exactly that, the answer should be the sum of those values.

  • We can get the ways of assigning gaps so min gap between $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$ is $$$\geq x$$$ and rest are $$$\geq 0$$$ using bars and stars, so we take (ways of $$$min\ gap \geq x$$$) — (ways of $$$min\ gap \geq x + 1$$$).

This doesn't work for the large sample, any guesses on what I might be missing? (or is it just an implementation skill issue?)

    7 months ago, # ^ |
      Vote: I like it +18 Vote: I do not like it

    I don't think that only the min gap between some $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$ matters. If you consider the array of non-zero $$$a_i - b_i$$$, $$$\Delta$$$, then $$$\Delta = {2, 4}$$$ is a loss for the first player but $$$\Delta = {2, 3}$$$ is a win. The minimum value is the same, but the result differs.

Thanks for the contest, I liked ABCEF, all are high-quality interesting problems. But I dont understand why problems like D still being accepted for Div1s in 2024, isn't it just very standard problem?

    I definitely think there's a place for problems like D in Div1s. Even though you can say there is a standard "merge sorted lists using a priority queue" idea, it took me some time to reduce the problem to that (and I enjoyed it).

Little bit sad for my unclear submissions for C, basically it's an easy observe problem with short code...

Thanks for the contest!

For problem E, the case of $$$n = 1$$$ previously appeared in AGC 020 A which I wrote — not a big deal of course, but it helped me to come up with the solution a little bit faster.

Hello folks,

Do you know that JavaScript V8 4.8.0 was released in 2015? And included in node since 2016. That's over 8 years ago. Unlike most programming languages, JavaScript has evolved significantly since then. Latest available V8 version is 12.5.0 (Mar 18, 2024).

I'm well aware that JS is not usually used for competitive programming. But using obsolete language version is a guarantee that it will stay this way.

It seems that G is a little too easy for the position? I personally consider F more difficult than G.

i got a message from system saying that my solution coincides with some other solution for C2 1942C2 - Торт на день рождения Бесси (сложная версия) i think this is a coincidence an exactly similar question with the same logic was asked in one of the regional math olympiad i gave in fact for this particular question i gave three wrong submission before it was finally accepted and those submissions also used the same logic you can check that. System testing has skipped my submission can someone please help MikeMirzayanov priyanshu.p. Around 60 other people have a similar solution so it can be a common solution.

Dear Codeforces and MikeMirzayanov,

My Python submission for problem 1942C2 was independently developed, and any similarities with other submissions are coincidental. The logic employed in my solution was based on my unique approach, building upon the solution I devised for problem 1942C1. I assure you that there was no intentional violation of the rules.

Just received a notification about filling the wallet address. But my TON keeper says that there are two address formats, starting with E and starting with U.

Which one should I write in my profile?
