UPD : Sorry for the issue in XORNE0.
Top 5 :
I have submitted a problem idea around 20 days ago how long does it take get a response of rejection or selection of idea
Dominater round
what's the solution for rectangle game
its a simple nim game with 4 piles
Can anyone tell me , why this code is getting TLE? for problem code : LEXMAX
you have to remove all the elements simultaneously that gives max B[i]
suppose B[i — 1] = 5 and max possible B[i] is 5 then you have to remove 3 and 1 in one go
there can be multiple distinct elements which lead to max B[i]
Wow , Thanks :) FML , feels badge
GAMERECT is very similar to this problem 104666D - Crimson Sexy Jalapeños

Thanks for the Editorial. Clearly got the idea.
Thanks ! Glad to hear this.
Problem C LEXMAX
I got a WA on (third test) task 2 using tries for finding most compatible remaining element 2nd index onwards

Can anyone point a test where it fails ( Codechef premium allows that ) ? Thanks
you can learn about stress testing here
Here's a failing case:
1 7 11
. Your solution gives output11 1 1
while the actual answer is11 3 1
.The place where the solution goes wrong is in the
query
function: whencurBit
is 0, it preferentially traverses to the left child. However, elements of the right child should also be checked.I'd also attempted using tries initially, but ended up with a simpler approach. Submission
Right right got it, Let me check yours
nice explanation, got ac. But isn't this n^2.log(n)

The value of AND changes at most 30 times, so complexity is 30 * N * logN
Hey sorry to ping you , can you please look at my submission link . My basic idea , sort on the basis of the bit which are not zero.
Tried a couple of small cases, not sure why it fails
Thanks for your time. don't know maybe some tricky corner case
In the rect game problem , It is interpreted as a nim game. Can someone clarify the following doubt "Say I have 2 piles and two players are playing game of nim on it. Now if the first player has a winning strategy on both then as per theorem we know 1st player loses. But say 1st player plays a move such that after his move the state of both piles remains same i.e. both piles still remain in winning state and player 1 might win this way."
Is Problem SUMKMAX that easy? How did so many people in Div-2 and Div-3 solve this problem as compared to LEXMAX, which I thought was fairly easy. In Div-1, LEXMAX was solved by almost 3 times more contestants, but in Div-2/3 it is the opposite? Can't understand.
SUMKMAX has a one liner solution using some weird factorials, Not tough to guess that solution was floating in cheating groups.
Thank you so much for this amazing contest! I became 4* coder in this contest!!
