I currently dont have enough time to do this contest, so here's my opinion on the first 2 problems and the contest:

  1. It's a zeyd contest, you can't expect $$$t$$$ test cases, he always never listens

  2. A and B are just garbage, straight up implementation, B is not explained carefully:

  • "Petya remembers the index of the last performed swap", is the index $$$i$$$, or $$$i + 1$$$?

  • Does comparing/swapping take time? Well sure, it might be said in Notes (I haven't read them because they are too long, try to organize it to make it look better bro), but the it should be said in the statement

Ill try to do the other problems when I have time

    Regarding the feedback on problem B

    Thank you for your feedback.

    We have carefully re-read the statement of problem B and believe it is formulated correctly and unambiguously:

    • "The index of the last performed swap" refers to the index i of the left element of the pair that was swapped (a[i] and a[i+1]).
    • One second is spent on each comparison. The swap itself is instantaneous and takes no extra time. This is illustrated by the examples.

    If you or other participants still have doubts about the wording, we apologize for any inconvenience. We are always open to suggestions for improving problem statements and will take them into account in future rounds.

    Thank you for participating!

    You should understand, that:

    Im tester, and no-t-parametr is my style.

    A and B is garbage only because you are Specialist. Yes, it's really easy, but not really garbage.
