I was a contestant this year , and I can say it was really really awkward and inappropriate running the onsite contest without providing the time limit for problems . I did waste a lot of time thinking about a faster solution for problems during the contest , one of these problems is J.Whistle's New Car . I did waste a lot of time trying to figure something fast , and now on the gym the time limit is 15s .

Sorry guys but it was the worst problem set in the history of ECPC. Please quit problem setting for the sake of God. (No hard feelings)

    No hard feelings, but can you explain exactly what you found to be so bad, so that either we or our successors avoid doing ? (Full disclosure: I am the problem setter for problem K, there was an issue during the ECPC contest concerning one test case in problem K, which was not really an acceptable input. The test case was removed during the competition and all submissions that passed other test cases were accepted.)

      A good point would be realising which contests you are setting problems for. It's ECPC with an E.

Regarding G. The Galactic Olympics problem:

in the problem statement :

Foki's children must participate in all the games and every one of his children get to participate in at least one game

each one of Foki's children can participate in multiple games in the Olympics, but each game must be arranged to exactly one player

number of games 0 < N ≤ 10^3, number of Foki's children 0 < K ≤ 10^6.

does it mean that if in the input K is larger than N then the answer is 0 ? (since in a certain arrangement: every child must participate in at least 1 game, and we can only arrange each game to exactly 1 player, so it is impossible to satisfy these if K is larger than N)

Can someone help in problem B? I considered each rectangle as a node in a graph and run floyd-warshall in it, I'm getting WA.
