On the most recent Bleddest Div 2, I used gcd instead of mod, thinking I wouldn't get punished.

Becuase O(n^2 log 10^9) = 30 * 5000 * 5000 = 7.5 * 10^8 which should pass.

But it turns out that the C++ built in gcd uses the Euclidian Algorithm:

int gcd (int a, int b) { return b ? gcd (b, a % b) : a; }

So the next time you want to compute GCD, use Stein’s algorithm:

int gcd(int a, int b) { if (!a || !b) return a | b; unsigned shift = __builtin_ctz(a | b); a >>= __builtin_ctz(a); do { b >>= __builtin_ctz(b); if (a > b) swap(a, b); b -= a; } while (b); return a << shift; }

I get the easy AC after getting hacked :( https://codeforces.me/contest/2283/submission/397490186

So what do you guys think about the built in gcd?
