Hello everyone!
Top 200 from the First Qualification Round have already advanced to the Elimination Round, but the other paricipants still strive to get there. If you haven't qualified yet, we invite you to take part in the Second Qualification Round that will take place this Sunday, April 16, at 12-00 Moscow Time. Best 200 participants will advance to the Elimination Round, other participants can try again in the Third Qualification Round.
Good luck to everyone, see you at http://russiancodecup.ru!
If I qualified to the elimination round, how can I receive the certificate and I'm live in Egypt ?!
Has anybody received their shirts from last year?
EDIT: oops... that was an unfortunate typo!
Don't be so critical!
Oh my gosh — thanks :P That wasn't intended!

by the way, the typo was really funny :D
Thanks for the link! Did you end up with a reply?
Yes. They said there was a problem with the post and they're going to send it again.
I qualified in the previous round. Can I take part in this round unofficially?
How to solve C?
Minimize the number of cycles.
The answer to the fully given array = N — number of cycles. So you collect all cycle segments (e.g. ? -> 1 -> 4 -> 5 -> ?) where ? is controlled by you. If you have one segment — you have no choice (just put one element you have). Otherwise you can connect all segments into a one cycle (e.g. end0 -> start1, end1 ->start2, ... endI->start0), thus maximizing the answer.
The edge here signifies (ind,arr(ind)) ???
Yes
I have a feeling that E can be solved using MO's Algorithm but I don't know how xD So Can Someone Help Me ?
Yes, it does. I solved it by MO.
Very Nice, So chemthan, Please explain your solution .
I tried to, but got TLE :(
First, transform array into prefix sums + lift it up by 100000 to avoid negative values. So our goal is to find longest interval such that arr[l] = arr[r] inside the quered interval.
We start MO's algorithm and check intervals. We maintain:
deque[val].front() - deque[val].back()
). The multiset is also easy to update since we can compute the length for the value from the deque. The answer for current query is then the largest value in the multiset.At the end of block check, we can clear the multiset directly, and clean the deque's by collapsing the current interval.
PS: I used map<int,int> instead of multiset.
My solution is similar to hellman_'s one, except a trick to avoid log factor in the complexity :). Maintain two array a[], b[]. When adding/removing a segment of leng d we add/substract one from a[d / sqrt(N)] and b[d]. To find the maximal len, we need only O(sqrt(N)).
Nice trick!
Will the problems get added to Gym like Qualification Round 1?
Sure. You will be able to get it later in the trainings section
when?
