Can anyone please give a solution to F?
The problem actually asks how many different sums can be got from all subsets.
Let $$$Y = X - D$$$. Then $$$A_i=Y+iD$$$. We can divide $$$gcd(Y, D)$$$ from $$$Y$$$ and $$$D$$$, now let's assume $$$gcd(Y,D)=1$$$.
We can maintain n maps. Enumerate how many elements we choose from the sequence, now assume it's k.
So the sum of elements we picked from sequence should be $$$kY+bD$$$, you can store all the sums possible if we pick k elements into map $$$(k\mod D)$$$.
If there are different ways to choose elements with the same sum, then they will be stored into same map.
Now let's consider $$$k$$$-th maps, it stores sum like $$$(k+tD)Y+bD$$$, if we subtract $$$kY$$$ from them, they will be multiple of $$$D$$$.
Consider all sums picked $$$k$$$ elements, actually the sum should be
You can subtract $$$(k\mod D)Y$$$ from them, then divide $$$D$$$, you'll find all sums contribute from picked $$$k$$$ elements will be compressed as a continuous interval $$$[l,r]$$$, you can maintain them with map.
At last, count the total length of all intervals stored in maps. The total time complexity is $$$O(n\log_2n)$$$.
F:
Let $$$AP = A + (A + 1\cdot D) + (A + 2\cdot D) + \dots + (A + (N - 1)\cdot D$$$)
The problem essentially asks to count unique sums of every subset of $$$AP$$$.
Let's iterate over $$$l$$$, in which we consider subsets of size $$$l$$$.
For each $$$l$$$, we can find a range $$$[L, R]$$$, such that each sum of subsets of size $$$l$$$, lies in $$$[L, R]$$$.
It is easy to see that $$$L = A\cdot l + \sum\limits_{i=0}^{l-1}{i\cdot D}$$$
Similarly, $$$R = A\cdot l + \sum\limits_{i=n-l}^{n-1}{i\cdot D}$$$
By taking $$$l$$$ leftmost, and $$$l$$$ righmost numbers respectively.
It can be proven that for each such range, all sums with intervals of $$$D$$$ are possible to obtain, i.e. $$$\left(L, L + D, \dots, R\right)$$$
Since, there can overlapping of sums in ranges for those $$$l$$$'s for which $$$L \pmod D$$$ are same, we merge such ranges before adding there contribution.
Also, handle the case for $$$D = 0$$$ separately.

Awesome explanation,can I understand your logic
It can be proven that for each such range, all sums with intervals of D are possible to obtain,
but unable to think of a proof of it.Kindly explainCan anyone explain me the solution for problem C ?
The editorial is out! Link
You can use Google translate for the pdf file
C. If you decide whether each person is honest or unkind, you can easily check in O (N2) whether the condition is consistent with the testimony. Since there are only 2N ways to determine whether or not each person is honest, it is sufficient to investigate whether or not there is a contradiction in all these cases, and to answer the largest number of honesty before the contradiction occurs. The above shows that an integer j between 0 and 2N is for an integer k between 1 and N, person k is honest and that the k-1 digit is 1 when j is represented in binary. By defining it as equivalent state, you can easily try all cases, this method is called bit traversal.
For me it was not that easy, in fact I did not solve it in time. The check for contradictions looks kind of fiddly to me.
Somewhere in my loop over (1<<n) I had a line of code like
Which does not work, correct is
The similar lines from the editorial look even worse. I would like to find ways to implement this less error prone.

Here is a link to my submission for problem C, I used bitmasking along with basic recursion for brute forcing whether the solution exist or not you can have a look at it.
Perhaps mine is simpler? https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc147/submissions/8860462
Since N is at most 15, the main idea is to generate all 2^15 = 32768 possible combinations of whether one is honest, and test whether there are any contradictions. I did this using bit operations, but of course there are other ways of doing that.

D.
An Efficient Solution can solve this problem in O(n*64) or O(n) time. The assumption here is that integers are represented using 64 bits.
Optimized solution will be to try bit manipulation. To implement the solution, we consider all bits which are 1 and which are 0 and store their count in two different variables. Next multiple those counts along with the power of 2 raised to that bit position. Do this for all the bit positions of the numbers. Their sum would be our answer.
Explanation : arr[] = { 7, 3, 5 }
7 = 1 1 1
3 = 0 1 1
5 = 1 0 1
For bit position 0 :
Bits with zero = 0
Bits with one = 3
Answer = 0 * 3 * 2 ^ 0 = 0
Similarly, for bit position 1 :
Bits with zero = 1
Bits with one = 2
Answer = 1 * 2 * 2 ^ 1 = 4
Similarly, for bit position 2 :
Bits with zero = 1
Bits with one = 2
Answer = 1 * 2 * 2 ^ 2 = 8
Final answer = 0 + 4 + 8 = 12
Isn't it that we need to divide by 2 somewhere?
The above calculates sum of all pairs, not only the ones where j>i. Or am I wrong?
When you paste the whole explanation from geeksforgeeks !!! the whole solution was available on gfg They should not add such question the contest when the solution is already available on such educational websites

No copy pasting have a look at the submission
Bro, I didn't say that your solution is copy-paste from GeeksforGeeks I wrote that the explanation you gave is direct copy-paste from GeeksforGeeks Take Chill !!!
Ok sorry bro I took it the wrong way
Though you will definitely become a candidate master one day !!! :)
Thanks X-D :-)
here for D solid explanation link
Geothermal didn't write editorials this time.!
I was also waiting for his editorial. His explanation of the problems are best
Does anyone have a problem with pD?
My answer to sample 3 is 794304820, but I somehow got an AC.
My code
I had the same problem! Where I was making a mistake was calculating 2^60, I wasn't taking the modulo 1e9+7 during its computation assuming it to fit in a long long.
I had an idea for F but couldn't implement in time : The question reduces to finding distinct values S can take. So I did some manual work for number of terms used to form S, say i, so for each i consecutive distinct values lie at the difference of D(common difference), now we have different intervals for all i, need to combine them. To combine first I sort intervals, standard sorting and include a value called as base value with each interval (which is the minimum offset from zero we get if we keep reducing the minimum value of interval ) and then I partition intervals on basis of offset value into different categories of intervals. Now the question reduces to merging of intervals for each category and finding total elements present in all resultant intervals at gap of d.
E was a rather standard knapsack DP.
We can find the optimal path with a boolean matrix of size $$$H\times W \times 6400$$$ that has $$$true$$$ on index $$$(i,j,d)$$$ iff it's possible to reach the square $$$(i,j)$$$ while having total absolute (red — blue) difference $$$d$$$.
I'd say the only insight needed here was to notice that you only need $$$6400$$$ states for each square. This is because each path has length $$$H+W-1 < 160$$$, and the maximum $$$\vert A_{i,j} - B_{i,j}\vert$$$ to be added/subtracted in each step is $$$80$$$, so an optimal path will never reach over $$$6400$$$ or below $$$-6400$$$ at any point.

English editorial is available.
I thought of C in terms of bipartite graph.Can someone share if he had similar approach and having AC? Code
I got a question, comparing both submissions, which are pretty similar, Code1 WA and Code2 AC I know that the first one has indices out of bounds and it might lead to undefined behavior, but it is ok that the verdict is a WA or what else could it be ? I mean I do not get why the code1 is a WA, the only idea I have is regarding undefined behavior but is there any other possibility regarding the WA?
Thank you
Can anyone explain how to solve E in O(min{H, W}(H + W)M), M being Let M = max{|A11 − B11|, ..., |AHW − BHW |}? The editorial says it can be achieved by using a good order of calculation.
Need explanation for E.
Please post test cases of this contest in DropBox.
$$$ E - Balanced Path $$$
Did someone do a top down dp computing the minimum absolute difference of the sum of red numbers and the sum of blue numbers?
I think it has the same time complexity as the editorial but i'm getting TLE.
can anyone give a solution to problem E
editorial is already published, here. First 6 pages are in japanese, but last few pages are in english!
