305A - Strange Addition
All you have to do is implement following algorithm:
- If we have numbers 0 or 100, we take them to needed subset.
- If we got number greater than 0 and less than 10, we take it.
- If we got number divisible by 10 we take it.
- In case we have no numbers of second and third type, we take a number that is not divisible by 10
305B - Continued Fractions
There are at most two ways to represent rational fraction as continued. Using Euclid algorithm you can do that for and then check equality of corresponding ai.
305C - Ivan and Powers of Two
First of all, let's carry over all powers of two in the following way: if we have ai = aj, i ≠ j, carry 1 to ai + 1. Now as all of ai are distinct, the answer is max(ai) — cnt(ai) + 1, where max(ai) — maximal value of ai,cnt(ai) — size of a
305D - Olya and Graph
First of all let's consider a graph on a number line. It's neccesary to have edges i - > i + 1(first type). Also you can edges like i - > i + k + 1 (second type). Other edges are forbidden. This allows us to understand whether the answer is 0 or not. Also answer is 0 when all edges of second type doesn't intersect, considering them to be segments of number line, except when k ≥ n - 1 — in this case answer is 1. Now we know that answer != 0. Frow all edges we have let's use only second type edges. If there aren't any of this edges we can add 1 to the answer, because of possibility of adding 0 edges to graph. For every vertex i, that has possibility of adding second type edges, let's add to answer 2cnt, cnt — amount of vertexes on [i, min(i + k, n — k — 1)] without edges of second type out of them. Also it is necessary for all the second type edges to start in this segment.
Solution O(n + m) Solution O(m + log(n))
305E - Playing with String
Let's consider substring of s s[i... j], that all characters from i to j are palindrome centers, and i - 1, j + 1 are not. Every such substring can be treated independently from the others, and as we don't need to know it'sstructure let's consider only it length len. Let's calculate grundy[len] — Grundy function. If we want to cut character at position i 0 ≤ i < len then our game splits in to independent ones: first will have length i - 1, second — len - i - 2, as s[i - 1] and s[i + 1] are not centers of palindrome any more.
The sample (case #5)"2 1 2"on A — Strange Addition, the answer is "1 1".I want to know how to choose two distinct numbers in the set. Because of it, I failed the previous test.
I failed on pretest 5, the answer has only 1 number. I think the explanation is "if there is only one number in the set, you cannot find two numbers which don't meet the requirement, since 1 > 0, you should choose that number".
You means the pretest #5 is right?
Yes, answer contains at least one number, because it's always better than 0 number.
If there are only one number in set -> we cannot choose two distinct numbers, so for all (0) pairs conditions holds.
It is still hard to persuade me. Anyway, thank you for preparing the context.

I am a bit confused about Div2 — P1 Why should I take all numbers x, (1 <= x <= 9)?
Not all, only one
Now I am having doubt that I even understood the problem statement. :(
What does it actually require?
What I thought was that, I need to pick the largest subset such that for any two elements, a & b, one would have a 0 in its decimal place.
Seems like I got it all wrong...
Statement says: Vasya can only sum pairs of integers (a, b), such that for any decimal place at least one number has digit 0 in this place. So, for example, we cannot sum 10 and 20, because 10 and 20 has digits 1 and 2 at first decimal place.
You should pick the largest subset that for every two elements, a and b, there should be at least one zero in a%10 and b%10, at least one zero in a/10%10 and b/10%10, and at least one zero in a/100%10 and b/100%10.
I think this solution is much easier.
For C, how can one prove that the above relation would yield us the most optimal answer?
