Problem statement of C gave me a headache.

    Why so many IELTS reading tests on competitive programming platforms. I think we should keep them simple.

In Problem E, 1 and 6 (**inclusive**) made my contest bad :(
Never noticed about it before :(

  • 1 and 6 (inclusive) ---> (1, 6]
  • 1 and 6 (both inclusive) ---> [1, 6].

I assumed the second one and could not solve E and moved to F :(

PS: Solved A-D and F, feels good after solving F just before contest ended.

    But here's the thing. It really is the second one. You just need to solve a dumb equation instead.

        Consider that $$$f(n)$$$ equals to the prob of $$$n$$$.

        then $$$f(n)=\dfrac{f(n)+f(2\times n)+\ldots+f(6*n)}{6}$$$. find the rest first, then multiply by $$$\dfrac{5}{6}$$$. We r done:)

Problem G is the same as subgroup number 6 of problem I of the long tour of the Moscow Open Olympiad. Constraints there are $$$n \leq 10^{18}$$$ and $$$p \leq 500$$$, which probably requires a lot more local optimizations.

In Problem C, is the 3rd condition At least one of C[a+n+1][b+n+1],C[a+n+1][b−n−1],C[a−n−1][b+n+1], and C[a−n−1][b−n−1] is .. redundant? I can't make sense of it.

For instance in sample 1, for the cross of size 2 centered at cell (3,7), n is 2, the 4 cells, at least one of which should be '.' are (in 1 based indexing) : (6,10), (6,4), (0,10) and (0,4) all of which lie outside the grid. How is this condition satisfied then?

    The 3rd condition is there to avoid overcounting. Imagine you have a cross of dimension 2. Without the 3rd condition, one would count there are 2 crosses. One with dimension 1. The other with dimension 2. After adding this 3rd condition, we know only the cross with dimension 2 should be counted.
