Hello, Codeforces!

Tomorrow, in November 15, 2016 at 19:35 MSK a regular Codeforces round for participants in the second division will be held. As usual, participants from the first division can take part out of competition.

I (gepardo) am the author of the contest. It's my first round and I hope it won't be the last. Great thanks to Gleb Evstropov (GlebsHP) for help in preparing the contest, Andrey Kalendarov (Andreikkaa) for testing the round and Mike Mirzayanov (MikeMirzayanov) for the great platforms Codeforces and Polygon.

As usual, the participants will be given 6 problems and two hours to solve them. I recommend to read ALL the problems. I wish everyone many Accepted and, of course, enjoy solving the problems.

The problems will be about my younger brother Anton. I hope you'll like them :)

The round is rated.

UPD: Though, the round won't be completely usual and there will be 6 problems.

UPD2: The scoring is 500-750-1250-1500-2000-2750.

UPD3: Tutorial is available now.

UPD4: Contest is over, congrats to winners :)

      Vote: I like it +9 Vote: I do not like it

    Use binary search.Since potions of type 2 are already sorted and also greater the cost of potion 2 greater is the number of potions that are immediately completed. for each potion of type 1 find the maximum type 2 potion that can be bought using upper_bound(In C++ ofcourse) and find the amount of time it takes and find minimum among those.

    Time Complexity — mlogk

    m-number of potions of type 1 k-number of potions of type 2

    1.First solve for only using second type spell — O(k) 2.Iterate over m and during each iteration use binary search on k and find minimum value during each iteration. 3.Then take minimum of all value which find in step 2.

    Time complexity — O(mlogk)

      I add one artificial spell to both types. (x, 0) for the first type, and (0, 0) for the second one. Picking one of this spells is equivalent to taking none of respective types as they have no effect. Thus I was always picking exactly one first type and exactly one second type spell, sparing myself consideration of corner cases. It got accepted so I suppose it's valid.

    Two pointers. Sort first spells by mana and go from left to right, at each step decrease the pointer for the second spell while you don't have enough mana.

    sort first type spell's by cost of each. then you can use Two Pointer algorithm for each a[i] (the i-th first type spell)

        After painting one node (and compressing the tree again), the number of layers of the tree decreases at most by one, so we have to find a tree with the minimum number of layers (minimum depth). That means that the root must be the center of the tree

For the beginning of the contest, I could not submit codes to problem A and C. The site kept me waiting without echoing anything, which really really annoys me (I have lost 100-200 points and spent some ten or twenty minutes trying to fix it). After each time I submitted a solution, I had to wait 1 or 2 minutes to see the result, and in most cases, it told me the connection was lost(maybe timeout?) and I must resubmit. Finally, I used a VPN proxy and it somehow worked. I think at the submit page there should be some js code to handle timeout, because (at least for me) a successful submission usually won't take a long time.

In problem E: Does the paint function simply work like the paint bucket in mspaint.exe (floodfill all adjacent nodes of the same color)? If yes, then the description is needlessly complicated. Interpreting it like this I used a disjoint set union, and tried to count the number of white and black sets and printed the minimum of them. Seems like I'm wrong...22248877

What's up with A? I understand it's Div. 2 A and you can give there pretty much anything solvable by anybody in less than 5 minutes (I have been an author myself), but I think it's too much: I feel like I have seen this problem ten times before, it's pretty much one loop and one if (no brain involved), and looks more like a programming language exercise.

Still thanks for a contest! :) I enjoyed E (and have no clue for F).

1 7 6
17 25 68
2 9 10
78 89 125

output is 17 ?

Shouldn't the output be 10? Since Anton can use the 1st spell of the first type that costs 17 manapoints. Thus, the preparation time of each potion changes to 1 seconds. So the preparation time is 10*1 = 10.

    I had WA on the same test, make sure you're considering the case when you don't use any spells of the first type.

I got a RUNTIME_ERROR on my submission 22244664 for problem D. If I run my solution locally, it runs fine. Does anyone have a clue?

--EDIT: Also on submission 22251648, which is the same code but cleaned up.

gepardo Problem C: Can you check why test case 21 has only 3 lines, its hard to take input as in questions it specifies input in different lines.

    Codeforces doesn't show the tests fully, so you can see only 3 lines. But in fact there're 6 lines in the test.

Stuck on finding bug in submission 22242517 for 734C - Anton and Making Potions. Got error on 13 test case. Any suggestions, please?

    Consider the case where you meed to take only potion of the second type.

      May I ask you to provide some more details, please?

      I am iterating over all items of second type and searching for appropriate items of the first type using binary search in the for loop.

      For me it still looks like in 13 test case there is an item of second type with c == n and d <= s.

      for (long long i = 0; i < k; ++i) {
              if (snd[i].first > s) { break; }
              long long max_b = s - snd[i].first;
              long long r = n - snd[i].second;
              if (r <= 0) { min_time = 0; break; }
              long long a = min_fst(max_b, fst);
              if (a < 0) { a = x; } 
              min_time = std::min(min_time, r * a);
      }

    Just figured out that min_fst function was incorrect. Should check if iterator points to the end after lower_bound if (it == fst.end()) { --it; }

I'm not sure whether I am right. I'm getting WA on test 1 in E. I checked the answer on my computer and it's 2. However, the result of the onlinejudge is 5, which makes me confused. I made the judge print the edges of the data1, it's 3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8 ???, and that made the wrong result. Also, I get RE on data1 if I chose C++11. I assume that the data of test1 is wrong? if not, why is the problem coursed? Thx

    Hi, I had a similar problem before. I see that you are using both scanf and ios::sync_with_stdio(0). Use either scanf or cin when u use ios::sync_with_stdio(0), but not both. That's the reason for the problem you are experiencing :) EDIT: Also, your code has wrong logic so correct that too :).
