Hey, all.
I think that from time to time all of us stumble upon a solution for a problem that make we go 'holy shit, this is beautiful'. So, I'd like to ask you guys to post the most beautiful/creative/out of the box solutions you've ever seen/created in the programming competitions world, so we can all see how cool some of them are and get a little bit inspired.

Ok, what about it isn't beautiful?
It is beautiful, just idiots on cf too lazy to read it
I hardly understand it, but god damn.
I also have made quite a nice solution for this problem: 44868649. It looks complicated, but it isn't. I made a recursive function to count sum of those numbers with prefix X. And then I know, that this number is always not in [l,r] I return 0, if I know that this number is always in [l,r] I return another, simplier function. Sometimes it is easier to calculate (1,r) and subtract (1,l-1). But I always do prefix recursion, because after doing it your dp state is much cleanier.
https://www.spoj.com/problems/ADACOINS/ A lot of you would've seen this problem, but the first time I solved this, it felt amazing.
I remember that all other solutions for this where Max Flow/Matching but mine was a simple nested for loop it felt amazing to solve it that way.
Which problem?
It seems from the link it is K.
This div2A 31086095 from round 439, AC in 5 characters
I can't believe there's a problem with such test cases
The test cases aren't weak, the answer is Karen for any input
Well I didn't mean the test cases are weak, It's just interesting to see a problem with only 1 answer for any input.

I solved this problem before with this 42353615 and It was beautiful solution for me, but seeing this blog, I've just improved the code to be 45168777, what do you think about it :)?
One of the authors solutions on Python:
Wow! It's very important geometry point to solve this problem. Thank you very much for pointing this way out for us <3.
It is the most beautiful, greedy solution that I've ever seen.
IOI 2006 joining points: Solution
I agree, this is one of the most beautiful problems I have ever seen.

Ctrl+D Approach
When there are so many nested for loops you don't even care about indenting them
Yeah, to not reach to another country while writing and debugging:
"Mom, I'm going to the CodetailLand, do you want any thing from me :'(?"
"Nothing other than your healthiness, my soul QAQ"
The following queue-based solution of this recent problem 999C - Алфавитное удаление is among the most elegant solutions I have ever written.

How about the easiest problem ever?)
I had the reaction that you described when I saw the solution for an problem from the JOI Spring Camp. The solution was so elegant and simple that I decided to write a blog about it.
I don't know from where this problem is, but it's beautiful. There is no need to know complex algorithms (just basic), it's all about thinking. Thanks to kostka for showing it to us.
You are given a connected graph with n ≤ 200, m ≤ 10000. Each edge has two weights — 1 ≤ ai, bi < 256. We say that cost of spanning tree of this graph is equal to
over picked edges. Find the spanning tree with minimum cost.
Try to find most optimal solutions just for weights ai and just for weights bi. What about representing it on a plane?
It's from BalkanOI 2011, me and Radewoosh are also big fans of this problem.
Ok, now two out of my three favorite problems are mentioned here. I am waiting for someone to post the third one ;P
Here you are!

I understand it a little. When we map it on plane, first we should observe that the best answer is on bottom convex. Then we can solve it recursive. And the init 2 endpoints are the best t and best c. Then we should find the best midpoint which has max distance to the line connected by the 2 endpoints. To find max distance is equal to find max area. Then the area can use c.x(b.x-a.x)-c.y*(b.y-a.y) + Constant. Then we change it to find min. Then it equal sum (c.x*(a.x-b.x)+c.y*(b.y-a.y)), which is minimum spanning tree.(finally we know how to do it).
You map it on a plane (sum a, sum b) and get a convex figure. Also a*b=const is convex. And if you dont get minimal value every time you search for a better one you are getting closer.

Would like to hear from tourist mnbvmar TLE FizzyDavid and other legends XD
Do you mean tzuyu_chou?
Do you mean Iightcode? I mean, if we are talking about true legend that is
