I remember a problem similar to the problem E:
I have solved this, the solution is also construction, and the problem in the recent contest seems a sub-problem of this one.
But codeforces contest is just 2-hour, so it's difficult to finish it.
And it's not easy to imagine this stuff and run it in mind.

Apparently I don't get problem C. Why is the answer 4 for a board 4 by 4?

Edit: Ignore that, I just saw the part of the stament I misinterpet. "More formally, first one of four diagonal directions is chosen and the billiard ball moves in that direction. ". Apparently the author meant that just one of the possible four directions is chosen.

I register a contest as a team member (in the All-Ukrainian School Olympiad in Informatics ).
After the contest, I resubmitted the problem and solved it in the PROBLEM SET page.
But, the system deal it as a team, not a person. The problem not turn to green.
I think it is a BUG.
