USACO Sprinkler

Revision en1, by dx24816, 2018-09-04 03:14:30

Hello,

I tried to solve sprinkler, but I was not able to come up with an algorithm faster than O(n^2), which somehow got 11/12 test cases. I read the solution, but it doesn't make sense. First of all, I don't get what it means by acceptable and unacceptable triples. I also don't understand their column argument about the interval of acceptable points, and how they compute their values. Can somebody explain their solution (or another good one) and provide their code? Thanks!
