I used two pointers in third problem, but I can't get last 35 points... (If the restriction of the number of calling the row(a,b) method is 400000, it is easy...)

    Yes , you should think of some trick and use the advantage that function row return the number of bridges.

    this happened with me too! first coded 4*n rows calls solution then I tried not to make the pointers back one step and got 100%

      I found 3*n rows calls solution but couldn't find any better algorithms...

    My AC solution for 3rd problem makes exactly 2N calls to function "row" and then uses a very standard pointer walk to report bridges in order. I'd like to know what is the most interesting approach for problem "birthday".

    I think it's great that practice tasks are open for anyone to submit. Does anyone know if it'll be also possible for the actual competition's tasks ? Perhaps we can hope for a live online contest ?
