Hello, Codeforces!

We kindly ask all Belarusian pupils who participated in this olympiad, to refrain from taking part in this round and discussing the problems publicly before the round ends.

Thanks to everyone who helped to prepare this contest:

The scoring distribution: 500-1000-1500-2000-(2000+1250)

Good luck to everyone!

    Hey can you help me, I accidentally submitted code for A problem while thinking about pretests and now the time shows after 2h, but I had solved it before 10 min. It's a huge decrease in rank. Please a help will be great, I just commented after the contest so it can be considered. Please if that submission could be removed and my score revaluated.

        Yeah sorry, I didn't mean it but just wanted to know if there was such a correction or not, it didn't feel good to go down this way. Sorry, but isn't it too harsh to get so many downvotes asking for help :(. Anyways won't do this again.

The round is based on the problems from Belarusian Regional olympiad.

Does it mean that the round has many OI-style problems?

If someone can answer me, thanks in advance.

      Yes, the contest will have a usual Codeforces format. For example, on the Regional Olympiad we have partial scoring for the problems, and there will be no such thing on the round itself.

              You're not enough eligible to advice others, go practice yourself and gain some ratings. And about demotivation, it's your theory that you are explaining to others, maybe for others things doesn't work that way. When i lose rating i feel little happy about it coz in some other contest i'm gonna get a huga +ve delta and also for current contest which i couldn't solve, will give me something new to learn.

          Losing ratings is just because you did not perform well enough during the contest and also because of some hard problems in it. That might be a motivation for you to keep practicing and getting better to solve these hard problems to gain more ratings.

          And about quitting CP just because you can't solve problems and depressed because you have lost your ratings, I think it didn't really come from ratings, but you didn't keen on CP enough.

              You didn't solve the problem not because of statements. Don't lie to yourself.

              We had only 45 questions in a contest, which is far less than the average. Statements were crystally clear.

      Sounds quite complex. The intended solution uses just a 2D array, and the memory limits were adjusted for this solution.

        Would it be better if we rewrote the statements as

        Given an array $$$a$$$ of $$$n$$$ $$$\ell$$$-bit integers, find an $$$\ell$$$-bit integer $$$y$$$ such that $$$\sum\limits_{i=1}^n d(a_i, y) \to \min$$$, where $$$d(x, y)$$$ is Hamming distance.

        I tried my best to make the rewrite above as short as possible, without omitting essential details.

      Exactly, but this applies only if statements actually contain explanations, rather than random planet's moon.

        I know that I don't hold the popular opinion here. Still, I want to show that the problem A mostly contained detailed explanations, rather than "random planet's moon". See yourself:

        Image

        As you can see, the legend part is no more than a third of the statements, while the other part is actually explanations.

        To prove my point about clearer statements further, I want to say that this contest had much smaller amount of questions than other recent rounds I helped setting. The number of questions was even ~1.5 times smaller than my old Codeforces Round from five years ago, where the number of participants was ~3 times smaller than now.

    Greedy is not feasible for problem C.

    try this test case:

    10 18 3
    0 1 3 4 6 7 9 10 11 12
    2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 3

    the answer is 42, meanwhile greedy approach is likely to give 45.

    Take a look at the illustration:

    1625C.png

    So use dynamic programming, I hope my submission 142583078 may help you.

    Special case: if $$$k = 0$$$, the answer is all indices from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$ inclusive. Hereafter we assume $$$k \neq 0$$$.

    Partition the values $$$a_i$$$ into groups according to the prefix of bits higher than $$$k$$$'s most significant bit. Observe that you can consider each such group individually, as any two values from two different groups will xor into a prefix that's greater than $$$k$$$'s most significant bit.

    Now in each group, we can always choose at least one member, and at most two members, because if we choose more than two, there will be two values that will xor to zero in the position of $$$k$$$'s most significant bit, thereby producing a value less than $$$k$$$.

    To find out if we can choose two values from a group, we find the pair with the maximum xor and compare it with $$$k$$$. Finding the maximum xor of two numbers in an array is a well-known problem (but you'd need to modify the algorithm on this page so that you know the indices of the pair) and can be done in $$$O(m \log k)$$$, where $$$m$$$ is the number of values in the group. Therefore the total time taken over all groups will be $$$O(n \log k)$$$.

      can u give me an example how to partition such groubs. I think in each group the xor between its elements must make the bits that greater than most significant bit in k equal to zero, right???

        Say $$$k = 5 = 101_2$$$, and $$$a = [27, 31, 17, 13] = [\color{red}{11}011_2, \color{red}{11}111_2, \color{red}{10}001_2, \color{red}{1}101_2]$$$. The first and second element would be in one group, the third element would be in another, and the fourth in yet another, according to the bits highlighted in red, which is anything above $$$k$$$'s most significant one-bit.

            From what I can tell you are indexing by bits $$$\geq msb$$$ rather than $$$> msb$$$, and I don't see anything recognizable as a max-xor-find there.

      Should we also add one number whose MSB is less than k's MSB? And also one number whose MSB is equal to k's MSB?

    Observation is that a minimum value of $$$a_i \oplus a_j$$$ is achieved at some two adjacent numbers after sorting.

    After sorting, you can write simple dynamic programming, $$$dp_i$$$ — the length of the longest subsequence that ends with $$$i$$$. Transitions are very simple $$$dp_i = max$$$ {$$$dp[j]+1$$$}, where $$$a_i \oplus a_j \geq k$$$.

    It can be optimized using trie.

      But why only $$$a_i\oplus a_j\geq k$$$?

      It is possible that whatever subsequence $$$dp_j$$$ is storing in has a xor value $$$x$$$ and $$$x\oplus a_i\lt k$$$.

      Does this have something related to the optimization using trie?

        because you can use all the elements before the previous one to be your prefix, so at any position it's always better to maximize that number.

        Let's say two numbers that are equal have index $$$l1$$$ and $$$l2$$$.

        Consider $$$l1$$$<$$$l2$$$ Now we'll see what is the length of the segment, for number at position $$$l2$$$ to be at the $$$l1$$$ position in its segment, segment must start at index $$$l2-l1$$$.

        As we have to maximize the length we can take the endpoint of the segment to be $$$n-1$$$.

        Now length of the segment becomes $$$(n-1) - (l2-l1) + 1$$$. You can see that if $$$l2$$$ and $$$l1$$$ will not be nearest index of some number then answer will become worse.

The idea of Problem D is good. Not only observation but also a specific technique is required to solve it. However, I think it is too hard for Div.2D. Due to the difficulty of this technique, it should be somewhere around Div.2E. Also, the corner case $$$k = 0$$$ is tricky.

    Trie is not needed if you make use of the observation that choosing elements with different msb (most significant bit) are independent and to consider which elements of the same msb should be chosen, we just need to switch off the msb and consider the subproblem recursively.

    At the last step, when the msb becomes smaller than or equal the msb of $$$k$$$, we can make use of this to check whether there exist a pair of numbers whose xor exceeds $$$k$$$, and if otherwise we just pick any random number.

      To handle groups of elements with MSB <= k, I also used the technique in the GeeksforGeeks article you linked during the contest, but I got TLE. I even tried replacing the set<int> that they use with an efficient hashmap, but still got TLE. In order to get AC when upsolving, I realized it was faster to use a 0/1 trie to figure out what the maximum XOR of any pair of numbers is. See the maxXor function in this solution.

          That is very close to the time limit, so my guess is that you have lower constant factor than my solution did, since you are using printf/scanf instead of cout/cin and also you are using __builtin_clz which I didn't know about before. Thanks for sharing your solution.

    Let $$$dp(i,j)$$$ = min time to reach $$$d_i$$$, by removing $$$j$$$ signs. Assuming $$$d_n=l$$$, the answer is minimum of $$$dp(n,j)$$$ over all $$$j<=k$$$.

    Recursion: Consider computing $$$dp(i,j)$$$. One candidate for $$$dp(i,j)$$$ is $$$dp(i-1,j) + a_{i-1}*(d_i-d_{i-1})$$$. But it's possible that we removed the $$$(i-1)$$$th sign, so we drove at speed $$$a_{i-2}$$$ from $$$d_{i-2}$$$ all along, so $$$dp(i-2,j-1) + a_{i-2}*(d_i-d_{i-2})$$$ is another candidate. Continuing with this reasoning, and also noting that we could not have removed more than $$$j$$$ signs, we get the recurrence:

    $$$dp(i,j) = min_{p<=j} dp(i-1-p,j-p)+(d_i-d_{i-1-p})*a_{i-1-p})$$$.

    Base case is of course $$$dp(0,*)=0$$$.

        Your dp[3][1] should be 8(5+3, removing the 2nd), because if we remove the 3rd, the ans will be 1+2*5, which is worse.

        And prev[3][1] will be 3 because the 3rd is not removed.

        But the best transition is when dp[3][1]=11 and prev[3][1]=2.

          Thank you Ji_Kuai, I was also struggling with the same thinking what's wrong in it. Thanks to nyet for replying me with the link of this comment.

          But I am curious, like can't we do anything to this approach to get it better. Like at any (i,j) if we store all the possible (ans,prev) pair and using the one to calculate for further states. Tho it's more complex and inefficient. But can we do that? Will that give the right answer?

          And making the conclusion that "for calculating some new dp state, the stuff we are using for it must be unique in the sense that that stuff should be only valid stuff for that previous state" is right or wrong?

            For the first question. It is obvious that for any pair (ans, prev), (a, b) is always better than (c, b) if a < c (the ans is smaller and prev is equal).

            If we use dp[i][j][prv] instead of dp[i][j] and store the smallest ans, it will be correct(But this will get MLE in this problem).

              Okay, one more, Just the last one Ji_Kuai, please! Why can't we make dp[currBoard][prevBoard] storing the minimum time currently on currBoard and the last board taken be prevBoard && maxCan[currBoard][prevBoard] storing the k value when we were there. Now my claim is that dp[currBoard][prevBoard] will update only when currMaxCan is greater the maxCan[currBoard][prevBoard] or when it is not updated yet!

              My code link -> 142507920

                I think your claim is correct. But it doesn't mean that you can return dp[curBoard][prevBoard] when curMaxCan is less than maxCan[curBoard][prevBoard].

                When the curMaxCan is less than maxCan[][], the return value for that should be greater since you can not close as much station as the stored dp value.

  • Suggestions on problem D: Stop making ORIGINAL PROBLEMS.

I think testers should realize that, because this problem is very classical and is obviously an original problem.

    I don't think problem setters should avoid classical problems in div2 and div3. Div 2 and 3 are "educational" contest. Although problem D uses classical idea, not everyone (especially experts and below) have seen it before, and they can learn in this contest, which is good for them to study.

    The problem is good to use if only you are not able google the problem by the statement online.

        Yes, there is educational contest, although the frequency is not much. But since problem D is a master level problem (difficulty rating > 2100), I think it's OK to use it in the div 2 since red and orange users are unrated.

In case anyone else is struggling with TLE in problem D with Java, I needed to do both of the following to make it fast enough:

  • Don't store each number once for each bit i.e. each trie node should only contain a single number. During the step where you need to find all the numbers under a node, you'll need to run a separate DFS to get them all.
  • Don't use objects. Use preallocated arrays as "fake" objects (e.g. https://codeforces.me/contest/1625/submission/142532132)

      To be more precise, Russian version of the statements is the original version, and English statements are just translation near to the original. Also, there was partial scoring on the olympiad, but it was removed for Codeforces to allow only full solutions.

Want to know what is wrong with my approach

My approach for C was as follows:

  1. I find the index of all the signs, which when removed decrease the total time.

  2. Now I just need to choose at max k of these candidates for removal.

  3. this is where DP comes in, I apply it on the preselected candidates.

IF while choosing value of current k>0 than I have 2 option

1.)either choose to remove(insert index in a set named removed)

2.)Ignore and move to next candidate

ELSE Ignore and move to next candidate

for base case after completely going through all the candidates , I have a set of chosen sign's indices(i.e signs which should be removed). So considering that these set of removed signs as not being present, I calculate the total time taken and return it.

I memozized this using a dp[501][501] array.

    If $$$a=[1,99,3]$$$ and $$$k=2$$$, do you include $$$3$$$ in your candidates? (Clearly, removing both 99 and 3 is optimal.)

How do you quickly find out whether we should use greedy algorithms or DP for optimization problems like C? The only clue that I found for C is the input size: 500. This might imply that we can use O(n^3) DP. If I don't know this size, I might spend time on thinking about possible greedy solutions.

(By the way, I didn't participate in this contest but I read and solved A, B, and C. I think they are interesting problems.)

    The simple answer is that if you can't prove your greedy solution, you can't be sure it works. In this case it's reasonably easy to construct a counter-example; in other cases it's more difficult. If you can't prove greedy and you can see a DP solution, it's likely to be safer.

      Vote: I like it +21 Vote: I do not like it

    Yes, I solved it with convex hull after the contest.

    Code : https://codeforces.me/contest/1625/submission/142559648

    dp[i][j] is min time required to reach ith city using j road signs. So the transition is like dp[i][j] = min (m<i) dp[m][j-1] + (d[i]-d[m])*a[m]

    The transition part can be written as a line like y = dp[m][j-1]-d[m]*a[m] + d[i]*a[m]

    The slope is a[m] and the intercept is dp[m][j-1]-d[m]*a[m]. We can pass in d[i] and get the minimum using convex hull trick.

can anyone find problem in my code for problem D i am getting WA on test case 14. I am using bit trie, sorting and segment tree. after sorting if i am at indx i than first i will find the maximum element such that it's xor with current element is greater than or equal to k. Now i used dp since we can select any element which is less than maximum element(mx) so i made a segemnt tree on values of dpi's. dp[i]=max(dp[j]+1) for all j such that a[j]<=mx Then to update value of current element we just query of the prefix from 0 to mxid(index of maximum element) dp[i]=query(0,mxid)+1;

    Just try to solve 3 problems in div 2 contest.

    After the round read the editorial and solve D and E problems.

    Keep doing this, then you can nearly always solve at least 3 problems in div2 contests.

    You can be blue even purple then.
