    Implementation Hint :- To solve This problem we have to implement two dfs functions, first one will be used to calculate maximum points he can collect assuming all nodes are cursed, And Second one will be used to calculate impact for each node if that node is uncursed.Also don't forget case when after uncursing node it becomes profitable for node to visit i.e. when if all nodes were cursed he was not visiting node a particular but after uncursing it is profitable to visit. For details explanation you can refer Editorial.

Starters Div1 = Codeforces Div 1.5/Div 2

Starters Div2 = Codeforces Div 2.5/Div 3

Starters Div3/Div4= Codeforces Div 3.5 for almost every contest equivalent to codeforces division.
