Hello, codeforces! I don't think the interactor of CF1557E is smart enough. Many wrong codes can get Accepted.

First, the hack input format in CF1557E is:

T
x[1] y[1]
x[2] y[2]
...
x[T] y[T]

As you see, we can only input the coordinate of the King, but the King's route is by interactor.

So I have no way to hack it, but to post a blog to say it.

Take my code as an example: https://codeforces.me/contest/1557/submission/125431623 .

It's not correct, and it can be easily hacked.

Here is my Hand Player , which you can control the King's route (use Windows) :

        if (i == Qx && j == Qy) {
          printf("Q "); 
          ban[i][j] = 0;
        } else if (i == Kx && j == Ky) {
          printf("K ");
          ban[i][j] = 0;
        } else if (i == Qx || j == Qy || abs(i - Qx) == abs(j - Qy)) {
          printf("# ");
          ban[i][j] = 1;
        } else {
          printf(". ");
          ban[i][j] = 0;
        }
      }
      puts("");
    }
    int tox, toy;
    cin >> tox >> toy;
    if (tox == -1) {
      for (auto v: vec) {
        printf("%d %d\n", v.fir, v.sec);
      }
      system("pause");
      continue;
    }
    if (ban[tox][toy]) {
      puts("Invalid!");
      system("pause");
      continue;
    }
    if (abs(tox - Kx) <= 1 && abs(toy - Ky) <= 1 && !(tox == Kx && toy == Ky)) {
      Kx = tox, Ky = toy;
      vec.pb({Kx, Ky});
    } else {
      puts("Invalid");
      system("pause");
      continue;
    }
    if (Qx & 1) Qy++;
    else Qy--;
    if (Qy > 8) Qx++, Qy = 8;
    if (Qy < 1) Qx++, Qy = 1;
    if (Qx > 8) Qx = 1; 
  }
  system("cls");
  for (auto v: vec) {
    printf("%d %d\n", v.fir, v.sec);
  }
  return 0;
}

I made the hack by hand (130+ steps, and the King still alive):

So I think writers should change the interactor's strategy to avoid the incorrect code gets Accepted.

What's your opinion about it ?
