    Observation: at any time, the state can be described by $$$0\le L\le R\le N$$$, where the first $$$L$$$ letters are R, the last $$$N-R$$$ letters are B, while the other letters are the same as initial state.

    First consider subtask 5: $$$L=R=t$$$, note that pressing button $$$A$$$ would change $$$t$$$ into $$$(t+[t<A]+A)\bmod (N+1)$$$, one can solve this subtask by processing queries offline and maintaining such changes using BST. Complexity $$$O(N+(M+Q)\log Q)$$$. (There exists other solutions.)

    Now we are interested in simulating a bunch of presses to make $$$L=R$$$. Note that the influence of several presses in the prefix or suffix can be simply summed (sum of their distances to borders), and a press in the middle part doubles the length of either prefix or suffix, so there's only $$$O(\log N)$$$ such presses. You can find them quickly in $$$O(\log M)$$$ time each, giving $$$O(\log N \log M)$$$ complexity per query.

What is the intended complexity of P3 Maze for 100 points?

    I found a O(RClogN) solution and a O(RC) solution.

      My solution with RClog got only 84.Did you manage to get 100 with the RClog solution?

        My RClog got 94 and I tried to optimize some constants, but failed, so I coded RC solution.

        My RClogN solution got AC.

        I used bitset instead of set and got AC. I'm surprised O(RC log R) doesn't pass, the log part is just one lower bound on a set. I guess the bottleneck is the erasing part, which can be done faster with bitset
