UPD: Pay attention to the changed start time of the competition.

<almost-copy-pasted-part>

Hello! Codeforces Round 627 (Div. 3) will start at Mar/12/2020 16:05 (Moscow time). You will be offered 6 or 7 problems (or 8) with expected difficulties to compose an interesting competition for participants with ratings up to 1600. However, all of you who wish to take part and have rating 1600 or higher, can register for the round unofficially.

The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ACM-ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks. I tried to make strong tests — just like you will be upset if many solutions fail after the contest is over.

You will be given 6 or 7 (or 8) problems and 2 hours to solve them.

Note that the penalty for the wrong submission in this round (and the following Div. 3 rounds) is 10 minutes.

Remember that only the trusted participants of the third division will be included in the official standings table. As it is written by link, this is a compulsory measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participants of the third division, you must:

  • take part in at least two rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them),
  • do not have a point of 1900 or higher in the rating.

Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the third division or not, if your rating is less than 1600, then the round will be rated for you.

Thanks to MikeMirzayanov for the platform, help with ideas for problems and for coordination of my work. Thanks to my good friends Daria nooinenoojno Stepanova, Mikhail awoo Piklyaev, Maksim Neon Mescheryakov and Ivan BledDest Androsov for help in round preparation and testing the round.

Good luck!

Found Mistake: (wrong formula) cout << 1LL * n * (n + 1) / 2; -> cout << 1LL * n * (n - 1) / 2; Found Mistake: (integer overflow) ll res = q * (q - 1) / 2 + q * zero; -> ll res = 1LL * q * (q - 1) / 2 + 1LL * q * zero;

    You can use binary search. create a diff array such that diff[i] = teacher[i]-student[i]. sort this array. at a particular point i calculate how much you'll need to compensate for when you choose j. e.g if teacher[i]-student[i] = -2. then we know we need diff[j] >= 3, so as to make teacher[i]+teacher[j] > student[i] + student[j].

    you can easily binary search this value in diff array.

        Let's just iterate over the array from the start, and since we need to find unordered pairs, so for a particular i, we need all elements before it such that: ai — bi > bj — aj or Let's denote bj — aj as val, then we need all such elements where : val < ai — bi So PBDS on pair of elements acts like a multiset with additional feature ,giving count of elements less than x too.So use that function for each i and get count of elements less than {ai-bi-1,inf}, and add it to answer and insert pair {bi-ai,i} to the pbds.

        Use PBDS as a multiset (comparator less_equal). Traverse from the end of the array and for each index, increment answer by order_of_key of $$$a[i]-b[i]$$$ (basically index of upper bound). Then insert $$$b[i]-a[i]$$$ in the PBDS.

    It can also be done with sorting; if you have a sorted array $$$c$$$ and you want to know for particular $$$i$$$, how many $$$j$$$ satisfy $$$c[i]+c[j]>0$$$, then you can decrement $$$j$$$ from $$$n$$$ down to the first index where $$$c[i]-c[j]<=0$$$, and count $$$n-j$$$. Then if you iterate over increasing $$$i$$$, this $$$j$$$ can only decrease.

    Let c[i] = a[i] — b[i]. Now we have to count the number of pairs with positive sum. Sort array c.

    Set two pointers, one at index 0 (pointer j) and the other at index n-1 (pointer k). In each iteration decrease k by 1 and find the corresponding index j, by running a separate loop within the previous loop. Exit when j >= k.

    Initialize ans = 0, and keep adding (k — j) in each iteration, i.e. ans += k — j

    Note that j keeps on increasing in each iteration. We do not restart j from 0 each time.

    Time Complexity: O(n)

    Maybe you can use the Binary Indexed Tree in value.

    First discrete all $$$a_i - b_i$$$ and $$$b_i - a_i$$$.

    Then for every $$$i \in [2, n]$$$, calculate all for $$$j \in [1, i)$$$ which $$$b_j - a_j < a_i - b_i$$$

    The time complexity will be $$$O(n \log n)$$$.

        More correctly, $$$dp_{i, j}$$$ is the number of "good times" when we consider first $$$i$$$ values $$$a_i$$$ and used $$$-1$$$ $$$j$$$ times. Transitions are also pretty easy: if the sum of the first $$$i$$$ values $$$a_i$$$ is $$$s$$$ then $$$dp_{i + 1, j} = max(dp_{i + 1, j}, dp_{i, j} + [(s - j) \% h \in [l; r]])$$$ and $$$dp_{i + 1, j + 1} = max(dp_{i + 1, j + 1}, dp_{i, j} + [(s - j - 1) \% h \in [l; r]])$$$. $$$\%$$$ is modulo operation ofc.

        Great job vovuh, don't give in to the hate. As it is, it's hard and time consuming to create problems and test cases, let alone deal with criticism such as this.

        Personally, I think this is a good level of difficulty, otherwise how do we differentiate between Div 2 and Div 3 problems. Once in a while, problems in Div 3 are easier compared to other Div 3 contests — but I think many people in Div 2/Div 3 enjoy the opportunity to solve a few problems (that are in reach and where we can apply what we've learnt recently) and then learn from the other unsolved problems.

        In fact, you don't need segment tree for D since the binary search is enough for it.

        For problem F, I apply DFS twice on the trees.

        In the first DFS, I regarded no.1 node as root and regarded the trees as a rooted trees. In this DFS, I get the correct answer for no.1 node.

        In the second DFS, I started my DFS from no.1 node and calculated the answer of other nodes in my traversal.

        For more details ( since I'm poor in English but good at C++ ), you can look up my code.

            It seems like ts3 is just a random tree whose node is all black. So you can just make a small test to see what happens in your program.

    Root the tree arbitrarily and let $$$dp_x$$$ be the answer for $$$x$$$'s subtree. We can do this with a single dfs.

    But then $$$dp_x$$$ won't necessarily have its full answer (because we didn't consider the path through $$$x$$$'s parent). So do a second dfs and for each parent node $$$y$$$ update each of $$$y$$$'s child's $$$dp$$$, (child may benefit from path via their parent $$$y$$$), but be careful to not to over count that child's contribution from $$$dp_y$$$.

    for clarity you can see my submission: 73067648

    It seems like you are using map<int, int> which takes $$$O(\log n)$$$ time for adding and looking for element. Also, std::map is especially slow (big constant factor) so your solution has time complexity $$$O(n^2 \log n)$$$ with big constant factor.

        I think what you want is unordered map which uses hash. It has constant access time on average (but can be up to $$$O(n)$$$ worst case). It also is quite slow since internal structure is somewhat complicated. I mean, don't expect something like a array-access speed.

        Also, since it uses random, it can be hacked if some experienced coder tries to craft specific testcase to kill unordered map.

        I think there was a good blog on CF about this (and also how not to get hacked from that) but I can't find it now.

        I don't think so. Your code is performing $$$n$$$ map access operations which make the whole complexity like $$$n \log n$$$. The code originally asked was using about $$$n^2$$$ map access.

Nice Contest! My solutions: A. Check the parity of all elements. If the parity is same, then the answer is YES, else NO B. Its always enough to check for palindrome sequences of length 3. So considering each element as center, check if the right and left parts contain atleast 1 element in common. C. its always beneficial to use R and not L. (why? bcoz with L you can only reach back to reach some R, which anyway you would have reached before reach the cell with L). so find the largest gap in reaching a R. D. Compute ci = bi-ai and sort this array. Then for each ai and bi count the number of elements in array c less than ai-bi. Also make sure to consider the edge cases where you have counted the same element again. E. Use dp. The state is (i, time), where i is the day (or the ith sleep) and time is the current time. Write transitions to each of ai and ai-1. F. Assuming you run bfs from some initial root node, Compute max(wi-bi) for each node i in its subtree rooted at i. Now we need to compute the value in parent part. This can be done using tree rerooting technique.

Each time Vova sleeps exactly one day (in other words, h hours).

What a lousy problem statement for E.

I have a solution on F that seems to be different from everyone: Let's hang the tree at vertex 1 and calculate dp[v] — the maximum answer for the subtree of v. This DP solves the problem for the vertex v if the root is the vertex v. How do we fix this? Let us remember when recalculating the DP for root 1 which vertices we included in the answer. Then we’ll introduce a push push that will push dp[v] into dp[u] depending on the benefits. That is, if our vertex u was included in the answer, then we push dp[u] = max(dp[u], dp[v]) into it, otherwise dp[u] = max(dp[u], dp[u] + dp[v]) The answer for vertex v is dp[v]

    I did this too (submission towards the bottom) but I think it is more or less the same as everyone else. It just condensed the if/else that others used into a smaller form.

      I do not completely agree, because the majority (70-90%) passed the "resuspension" technique for O (1)
