Hello, Codeforces!

I and 0x4F5F6F have curated a Solo Practice Contest in the gym, [contest:105005]. The level of questions is medium. This is for anyone who loves giving contests and solving problems. This contest will be of most interest upto Expert rated coders, but I would also like to invite Div. 1 coders to participate as well. For anyone who wants to practice or just wants to go through the problems can register for our contest here. Hope you will enjoy solving the problems!

I would like to thank:

Contest Details:

We hope that this contest, regardless of your background, rating and result, will increase your exposure to competitive programming and make you better than you were yesterday. Have fun!

Problem G is exactly the same as this atcoder problem from abc342 which was held on 24th feb (Literally 10 days ago).This is just LAZY.

    We are really sorry to say that G was copied from AtCoder. This was definitely not expected from our side, and our testers did their best, but unfortunately they were unknown that this problem exists. Had if I tested, I would've identified G as I participated in that contest.

    In the future contests, we'll make sure this doesn't happen again. But, I am pretty sure we can agree on the fact that rest of problems were actually interesting and quite fun to solve!

    Irish army can fire at the positions which are from l-k to l+n-1+k. so you have to kill the german soldiers in that range and all of them should have +ve strength and at max n germans soldiers should be killed.
