Problems have been prepared by me. I want to thank Gerald Agapov (Gerald) for help in preparation of this round, Eugene Sobolev (Seyaua), Vitaly Aksenov (Aksenov239) and Sergey Sukhov (Serega) for testing of problems, Alexander Ignatyev (aiMR) for testing of problems and for translation of tutorial, Michael Mirzayanov (MikeMirzayanov) for marvelous Codeforces and Polygon systems, Mary Belova (Delinur) for translation of statements.

We wish everyone good luck and high rating!

UPD: English tutorial

UPD: Congratulations for winners:

  1. Triolossus_3
  2. WHITE2302
  3. PM2.5

Separately, I want to congratulate Egor Kulikov (Egor) — the only person who had passed the all problems!

For some reason when we have only div2 rounds they are much harder than when we have both div1 and div2 rounds.

I wonder why this is the case.

    for every bit position (0 to 32), consider numbers in the array that have this bit set (= 1). Take bitwise and of all these numbers for each position i in [0,32), this takes O(32*n) time. Note that AND has "the more, the better" scenario, ie, for a particular v let set S be solution; if (v+1)th bit is set for a number N, then N \union S will also be a set with solution v. Using this, calculate above array. Now find maximum i 0<=i<32 such that the "bitwise and" calculated above has all bits 0 to i-1 unset (=0). This is the solution

    Make 30 buckets (vectors) and if a number from array has i-th bit turned on (0 <= i < 30) put the number in i-th bucket.

    After that for each bucket calculate the bit-wise and of all the numbers in that bucket and if that sum is divisible by 2^i output all the numbers in that bucket and the size of the bucket, of course choose i to be as high as possible.

    Edit: got ninja'd by the user above me :D

    same as c0d3junki3, but i use a builtin function named __builtin_ctz . It returns the number of trailing 0-bits in x, starting at the least significant bit position.(I think it's faster than %)

I think there is something wrong in the description of the problem C. I wonder how to understand this sentence in problem C: "If such number v doesn't exist (that is, for any non-negative integer v, number b1 and b2 and ... and bk is divisible by 2v without a remainder), " if v doesn't exit,number b1 and b2...and bk is divisible by 2^v should with a remainder,am I right?

    meaning if bitwise and is zero, then v can be as large as you want. In this case, answer is -1

    Really, all this sentence is saying is that the number (b1 and b2 and ... and bk) should not be 0. If it was 0, it would be divisibly by 2v for any non-negative integer v.

    It was hard to understand though. I wish they just said "(b1 and b2 and ... and bk) should not be 0".

    The triangle must be isosceles which means that the two sides are equal in length.

    The beauty of your answer is 21 not 29, the remainder with 2^29 is not 0.

    Note that if you claim the beauty to be 29, then the AND of all numbers you pick must be divisible by 229. In your case, the AND of all numbers you pick is actually 229 + 221, which means it's not evenly divisible by 229. (The actual beauty in this case is 21; 229 + 221 is divisible by 221 (giving a quotient of 28 + 20 = 257).)

    I suppose you misunderstand the problem.

    The problem title might be limited at either 35 or 36 characters; "Vasily the Bear" for D causes the problem title to go to 37 characters. (The next longest is E at 35 characters.)

      I'm not sure about what you say! For example problem 319C's name is "Kalila and Dimna in the Logging Industry" which has a length of 40!

      "Bear Vasily and Beautiful Strings" can change to "Vasily the Bear and Beautiful Strings" which has a length of 37. (37 < 40) ! Maybe it has another reason!

Quick question...

On 336b, the one with the circles and the ant, I am getting a different answer when I run my code than what the tester is getting. I'm using python 2.7, and when I enter 2 2 for the second test, I get 5.41421356237 in my python interpreter, but the tester is getting 7.41421356237 when it runs my code. Does anyone know why this is happening? I did not import any external libraries and all my code is pretty standard...

    Even when computing manually (by hand, not by an interpreter), I got 7.414 as your output. Are you sure you didn't misread 5 as 7?

        You're right, there seems to be something wrong with GCC on Codeforces: even the following program

        #include <cstdio>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    printf("%Lf\n", 3.14L);
}

        outputs -30329013470001650000000000000000000000000000.000000 instead of the correct answer.
