I used this for the last problem — https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/78931.

This is the first time I have used something from this list.

    There is no need for it, it can be solved with any RMQ structure like segtree. You just need to construct a directed tree from the array using the RMQ structure and then do dfs + binary search on ancestors.

    even assuming you do need O(1) query, why did you need O(n) build? O(1) query normally is just sparse table

Why every problem has "101" as suffix? Any special reason for that?

    div4 146 AC Lmao
    This actually seems like a good system to minimize the effect of cheating. They will probably get banned before ever reaching div1

      This also means that someone with a very high rating is leaking the solutions. This is so disheartening because this community has given us everything for free.
