Is it possible to announce the number of problems in all divisions beforehand?
Great round with interesting dp and graph problems. I usually like these kinds of round better than rounds filled with random binary string problems.
The round isn't over yet.
I hope everyone will enjoy this. May your Leap Day is going to be fun!
Is trial of conqueror finding max of $$$f(x)$$$ where $$$f(x)$$$=count of leafs which are at distance <= $$$k$$$ from node $$$x$$$?
No. You can read the official editorial here: click me
Do you maybe also have TREETOSTAR editorial? nvm found it https://discuss.codechef.com/t/treetostar-editorial/116393
Yep, you can find them all here.

In the problem XOR Partition Sort, can someone explain me how to find the next right index in a simpler way? I am having a hard time to understand the editorial.
For example, if we take our array as $$$[1, 2, 3]$$$, then for index $$$a[0] = 1$$$, if in binary search, we check for $$$[i, j] = [0, 2]$$$, then for bit $$$2^0 = 1$$$, it looks we have one pair each of set and unset case, as numbers $$$(2, 3)$$$ and $$$(1, 2)$$$ respectively. So, by editorial there is a "conflict", but we know that it is already sorted, right?
