    There will be subtasks. To get the score for one subtask, you must solve every tests in that subtask correctly.

    Thanks, I will update this fact in the post soon!

    You mean difficulties? :))

    I don't want to spoil too much about the details, but there are easy, and there are challenging problems as well. We welcome everyone to come and try out our challenges!

I think this was a good contest. The problem statements were clear, and most were relatively short. All the problems were good practise.

I enjoyed the problems though I wonder if there is anything better for E than doing cheese $$$O(N^2/64)$$$ knapsack with bitsets

    You can speed up the subset sum part by grouping components with same size. The tricky part is the case where we need to partition one such component into two parts. We can use the divide and conquer trick (similar to 1442D - Sum) and obtain an $$$O(N\sqrt{N}log{\sqrt{N}})$$$ solution.
