Why ABC is scheduled on Sunday instead of Saturday?

    There's ARC on Saturday.

    Don't know their reason but for me makes sense having the ARC on Saturday instead of doing it right before div1+div2 round on Sunday.

Where can one get the test cases for the AtCoder Beginner Contests? The test cases seem missing after ABC 355 on the Dropbox link they provided on their site.

    ABC rounds are usually held on Saturdays but this time ARC round was scheduled on Saturday hence this was scheduled on Sunday.

Problem FG got wrong answer in 4 test cases in total, but none of them got accepted.

Can anyone tell me why my solution of F get wa*3 ??

is there $$$O(1)$$$ solution for problem E?

    I have $$$O(log(k))$$$ (which come from power).

    The formula is $$$\frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}a + (n^2 - 2n)^{k}}{n^{2k}}$$$ where $$$a=\frac{n^{2k} - (n^2 -2n)^{k}}{n}$$$. Actually number of cases, that the black ball end up at position $$$i$$$ is $$$a$$$ if $$$i$$$ is not $$$1$$$. For $$$1$$$, it is $$$a + (n^2 - 2n)^{k}$$$. Since the number of possible cases for doing the operation $$$k$$$ times is $$$n^{2k}$$$, we can get the mentioned value of $$$a$$$.

    I got $$$\mathbb{E}[\text{X}] = \left(1 - \frac{2}{N}\right)^k + \left(1-\left(1 - \frac{2}{N}\right)^k \right)\left(\frac{N+1}{2}\right)$$$

    I first solved for $$$k=1$$$, then for the general case, assume $$$a_{t,k}$$$ be the probability of reaching $$$t$$$ in $$$k$$$ operations, then got the recursion (inspired from calculations of $$$k=1$$$ case) : $$$a_{t,k} = \frac{2}{N^2} + \left(1-\frac{2}{N}\right)(a_{t,k-1})$$$ with initial conditions as $$$a_{t,0} = 0$$$, if $$$t \neq 1$$$; $$$a_{t,0} = 1$$$ else.

    Now, writing the expression of the expectation and the probability derived from above, remains long amounts of simplifications T_T.

        Apparently they are discussing what to do with the fact that Problem B is set wrongly. I don't get how this takes so much time though, or maybe I'm just being karen. Anyways, I acknowledge their efforts but there's nothing we can do but wait.

Ok, I figured D is reduced to finding the number of intersecting interval pairs. Then I tried to sweep maintaining the current number of open intervals (+1 at a start, -1 at an end+1), but how do I make sure I don't over-count the same interval pair?

    If you go on clarification tab they have said it will take few days for rating to be updated as they have provided wrong constraints on problem B due to which many participants were getting wrong answer.so they are looking into it

For G, wouldn't just setting $$$A[0] = 0$$$ and then finding the LIS work? Or am I missing something?

    Let $$$A=[1,2,3,1,5]$$$. If you set $$$A[4] := 4$$$ you get an answer of $$$5$$$.

    But the LIS of $$$A=[0,2,3,1,5]$$$ gives you an answer of $$$4$$$.

I would like to share my ideas about problem F. At first, note that the original integers don't matter, and for each segment, we only care about at most six integers, l-1,l,l+1,r-1,r,r+1. Thus, we could compress them and use at most 6n integers (after compression). Then, we fix the left point, and try to find the right point which gives us the maximum value. For a fixed left point denoted as 'low', all the segments with [l, r] can be divided into three cases, which are,

Case1: l < low. It contributes 1 to the final value, if and only if the right point, denoted as 'high', satisfies high > r, and thus we can use a segment tree to add 1s to [r + 1, 6n]

Case2: l == low. It contributes nothing, but we should update after we set low++

Case3: l > low. It contributes 1 to the final value, if and only if high belongs to [l + 1, r — 1], and thus we can use the segment tree again to add 1s to [l + 1, r — 1].

Be careful that, the zero point, 0, must be added after compression.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. After a simple google search I was not able to find anything. After the contest my rating hasn't changed (I'm not sure if it has for others but I assume it has since atcoder usually updates ratings quite fast.)

Next to my rating I have received a ^ sign. Here is the link to my profile. I have no idea what it means.

    If your rating color is $$$C$$$, let $$$l=$$$ the lowest rating of $$$C$$$. Then

    • If your rating is in $$$[l+0,l+99]$$$, you have $$$1$$$ Λ.
    • If your rating is in $$$[l+100,l+199]$$$, you have $$$2$$$ Λs.
    • If your rating is in $$$[l+200,l+299]$$$, you have $$$3$$$ Λs.
    • If your rating is in $$$[l+300,l+399]$$$, you have $$$4$$$ Λs.

    off-topic 1: I want a similar feature on CF too. Especially red, $$$[2400,2999]$$$ have the same visual and I want to distinguish them in one look on the standings.
    off-topic 2: How to represent the mark? ^(XOR), ∧(logical and), or Λ(Large lambda)?

    Yes. Per https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc360/clarifications

    There was a mistake in the constraints. We have already fixed the statement. It was written as |T| < |S| but the correct constraints is |T| <= |S|.

    Also, a detailed explanation of solution of G would be much appreciated. There is a Japanese language editorial with two different solutions, but the machine translation of it does not satisfy me.

      I made sense of the solution given in https://www.cnblogs.com/Lanly/p/18277192. To describe it in English,

      Spoiler

      Per https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc360/submissions/55149393, I have gotten AC, though before that, I had a bug that failed two after contest cases (I wonder who submitted them, and what percent of "correct" solutions during the contest actually failed them).

      Also, I would still much appreciate English translation and/or further explanation of the Japanese editorial, which is difficult for me to understand in its machine translate.

        Turns out when I machine translate it paragraph by paragraph using Bing Translator on mobile (as opposed to Google Translate on desktop), there is a high quality translation. So inside the spoiler its the English translation of the first solution in editorial.


        Spoiler

        The second solution seems to be the same as that which I described in the above comment.

        Last by not least, my implementation of the first solution, https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc360/submissions/55159358, still fails the last after contest test case, which is a large one that runs in 232 ms. It would be great if someone could reply with identification of the bug.

G is a nice problem for me.

After reading jp editorial, I decide to implement method 1.

after a long time of debugging, it seems that there's only 2 testcases that I can not pass. (which are also added after the contest)

I wonder what kind of testcases it is and also wonder what's the bug of my code

here's my submission link

    I found the bug.

    the main problem is that when starting with dp0[0] dp1[0], the corner case was not handled correctly, so I directly calculate dp value when n = 1, then start loop with i = 2.

    here's my ac sumbission. link

The tests for G seem to be weak. For example this submission seems to get accepted on all tests even though it fails on this:

a = [1,3,4,2,2,4,5] the answer here is 5 but the output is 4.
