I really liked all your problems! Thank you :)
Thank you
Any hint for H?
let's say d is a divisor of n and if the string s can be represented as a repeating sequence of length d. Then d is the period of s. Let's define the magic number of strings = minimum period d of the string.
For example, the magic number of the string "abcabcabc" = 3.
suppose if a string s is a palindrome, with the magic number d. Then string containing the first d characters of s is also a palindrome?
For example, "abaabaaba" has a magic number = 3, and "aba" is also a palindrome.
So can you try now?
Thanks, I'll try :)
Is there any possibility to get the editorial for these problems. We would be very thankful to you.

Sorry for the delay,we will release the editorial by tomorrow evening. Thanks for your feedback :-)
