By Seyaua, 14 years ago, translation, In English
Hello!

I invite you all to take part in significant round! Today will be the first round for second division in Codeforces history, when it will be rated for blue coders!

This time the problems are written by me and sdya. 
We thank Artem Rakhov, Maria Belova and Dmitry Matov for help in preparing of this round.

Good luck for all!

UPD #1: Congrats to Kepnu4, who won the second division and to cerealguy, who won this round!

UPD #2: Link to editorial.

so many problems were solved with BigInteger....

    I feel a litlle unfair about D because a solution using BigInteger is too much easier to come up with.
    (I usually use C++ but used ruby to solve D.)

    But thanks for a nice contest! I really had fun.

      C++ can also solve this problem without a biginteger ...
      you can make the first three number 6 , 10 , 15  and then the numbers follow are 15*2^1 ,15*2^2,15*2^3 and so on

    That's why CPP programmers must always have their BigInteger codes ready

  1. if(s.length()<=19)
  2.                   {
  3.                           d=0;
  4.                       for(i=0;i<s.length();i++)d=10*d+int(s[i])-48;
  5.                           if(d<=9223372036854775807LL)cout<<"long"<<endl;else cout<<"BigInteger"<<endl;
  6.                   }else
  7.                           cout<<"BigInteger"<<endl;
  8. Please, tell me why this code work on test "9999999999999999999" (9x19)?

    Because d is unisgned long long and every number of length <= 19 fits in it

      Oh, really... I think max value for unsigned long long has 18 digits :(
      Dull mistake. Thx.

        о_О Приятно увидеть что кого-то мой код всё-таки обманул кого-то :)

    There is a very easy way to answer this question using casts.

twitpic I messed around A due the a quick misinterpretation of minus symbol as dash (hyphen). I request from next time on while writing out negative numbers, don't put a space or linebreak between the minus symbol and the number, so that the negation remains intact and I (lol, just for me) don't get confused.

What's wrong with problem C in these div.2 contests? #57 was just as bad as this one

loved the contest. thanks for nice contest :).
also, Is it possible to see the test cases ? otherwise can you please share test case #71.

    test case #71 is tricky one. In this test case there are some files with pathes like:
    C:\1\...
    C:\111\...
    If you sort this pathes you obtain bad results.

Why each test case is given twice to each code?

for problem D, 
use 6,10,15, and 6*n (2<=n<= around 60)
can generate the required result

I feel that contests on codeforces are based a lot on string manipulations which becomes a lot easier for advanced coders who are used to STL data types. At least Div. 2 problems should not have so many questions like that.
