I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but do you by any chance have information on when/how we can claim T-shirts?

For AI track, it still shows "You are not registered for the contest" despite top rank in previous round. Wanted to bump this up in case this is missed? SecondThread pkhaustov

    I read problem F after the contest ended, and I've really should read it during contest, because I knew the theorem needed for it, I've once wrote a preprint about it.

      That was really surprising to me, considering I also wrote a preprint for it. Well, being 17 points only is a good reason to ignore (though, with my particular scores on solving C, it actually make sense for me to consider this problem instead of a 18 points one)

      btw I forgot to update with you/your co-authors , but here it is preprint/paper

        Konijntje once said linear time algorithm also seems to be possible, You can see the idea here.

          Yes I did check it, I know that it cannot provide a linear solution as written, but it was somewhat incorporated into the third log of the solution here.

          Even making the idea work for the third log was already a pain and needed lots of additional ideas (which was the ideas I had for O(n log log n)) before this operation is able to shine.

Just a question when will the results of round 2 will be announced.

I mean when will the option to claim t-shirts be available or any notice will come.

Because there has been no info so far

Just wondering, do others' solutions to B work without any skips? Mine seems to.
