What is this new category : "Problem Administrator" ?
Could you elaborate a little.
Well, one of Stephen's responsibilities is proofreading of the statements and helping me to make them as clear as possible.
How was Most Distant Points supposed to be solved?
I saw a couple of solutions that inserted (x+y) and (x-y) to a multiset and took max, but didn't quite understand it. Link
The editorial has just been posted here.
Thanks. Nice problem set :)
