Hello Codeforces Community. I would like to invite you all for ICPC Indonesia COMPFEST 12 Multi-Provincial Contest Online Mirror. I am the Person In Charge of the event.

compfestlogo

I want to thank:

The online mirror will be held on , 3 hours after the official contest starts. Teams are allowed. The duration of the contest is 5 hours. For the official contestants, please refrain from joining this mirror contest.

Our problems are relatively easier than ICPC regional contests. However, we promise an interesting and diverse problem set. I'd say the overall difficulty is slightly more challenging than div two rounds. There might be an interactive problem. So make sure to familiarize yourself

About COMPFEST: COMPFEST is an annual event hosted by the University of Indonesia. It is the largest student-run IT event in Indonesia, and Competitive Programming Contest (CPC COMPFEST) is one of the competitions hosted.

Our contest on regional finder

Note: this contest is unrated.

UPD1: Editorial and contest review will be posted in a few hours, after we finish the official contest duty.

UPD2: Editorial is available here

Congratulations to the winners!

      Isn't it a bit unfair to post the announcement and then delay the round by 20 years?

Have a feeling that this contest would be pretty interesting!

Also great to see "There might be an interactive problem. So make sure to familiarize yourself" such notification before the contest. I was clueless when I first saw an interactive problem a couple of contests back.

        Sorry i misread the question. In D there are no edge cases (that we intend to). Maybe check your formula

We will release the editorial and contest review in a few hours. right now we are so tired from nonstop supervision of contests. Sorry about the unexpected difficulty jump :( we intended B to be a medium dynamic programming problem.

In Problem B, I think it's not very nice to mention "every checkpoint except checkpoint 1 has exactly two routes connecting it" only in the input section , since it is quite important leading to the solution :(

BTW I've spent about an hour to write&debug my B but in vain :(

    Arrange the nodes in dfs order so that subtrees correspond to subarrays, and then simply answer each query in O(n). Runs in 3.2s without pragmas or fast i/o, and 900ms with them: Code

    Using the ternary operator is apparently important because I TLE'd when I used an if condition instead, probably some stuff going on with branch prediction which I really don't know about.

    I'm sure this wasn't intended, but I don't know if it can be made to TLE within the limits of the problem.

      The intended solution uses segment tree beats. We tried our best O(NQ) solution before and our fastest only got 13s. Pretty suprised we are still far away from constant optimization. Please wait for the editorial for the detailed explanation

        With $$$N = 50000$$$ and 7 seconds, it's hard to imagine quadratic solutions to not pass, with some minor tricks (our solution also runs in under 1s with pragmas). Was the official complexity $$$O(Q \sqrt{Q} \cdot Beats(N))$$$?

          $$$ Q \sqrt{Q} log (N)$$$ was the intended complexity. Yeah we are quite suprised. One solution NQ solution even manage to pass in less than 1 second sobs

      Is it in time!? I was trying to make a solution better than O(NQ).

      Thank you!

        yeah our intended solution runs at 4.000 s. However some NQ solutions run less than 1 s.

Weak tests for problem G XD

    Behind the scenes: generating test cases for problem G was so hellish, that its easier to generate testcases by hand rather than using a generator program. First 25 test cases was hand made.

problem C

detected an integer overflow error at the 154th line of the problem setter's submission:

intmod c(int K) {
	return a(3*K/2)-b(K/2);
}

K can be up to $$${10}^9$$$ so 3*K will cause overflow

    Yeah, all of our testers used the same formula. So sorry for this. All of the submissions for C is rejudged. Only 1 participant in contest is affected.

Is there any solution?

  Vote: I like it 0 Vote: I do not like it

Can someone help me find bug in my solution for Question D? During contest, I got wrong answer on test case 9. I tried upsolving later but couldn't find the bug.

Link to the submission : https://codeforces.me/contest/1425/submission/93937461

General Idea : So the idea is to count the total number of strategies in which a & b both occur together. Let's assume they occur in X number of different strategies. Then we can add X * (2ab) to our answer (calculating a^2 is trivial and can be handled separately). Now in order to calculate X, we can consider the bounding box for a & b and then count the number of snakes in their intersection, union, and rest and can use combinatorics to calculate the answer. Please refer the code.

Can someone please explain the bug in my code?

    Hi, you might want to check your logic on getIntersection. Here is a small testcase that might help:

    3 1 0
    5 6 10
    4 6 30
    3 6 20
    

    Answer should be 1400.
