In problem B of today's round (987), same solution submitted with PyPy 3.6 TLEd while it worked in PyPy3.10 and Python 3.8. What could be the possible reason?

Your solutions are on verge of TLE with newer versions also, so version diff is enough to make it tle I think

    I am still wondering why is this the case, since the solution is clearly O(n).

input() is really slow. Speeding up I/O makes your code pass with flying colors (even in PyPy 3.6)
