Привет, Codeforces!
<almost-copy-pasted-part>
Привет! Во вторник, 16.06.2020 17:35 (Московское время) начнётся Codeforces Round 650 (Div. 3) — очередной Codeforces раунд для третьего дивизиона. В этом раунде будет 6 задач (одна из которых разделена на 2 подзадачи), которые подобраны по сложности так, чтобы составить интересное соревнование для участников с рейтингами до 1600. Однако все желающие, чей рейтинг 1600 и выше, могут зарегистрироваться на раунд вне конкурса.
Раунд пройдет по правилам образовательных раундов. Таким образом, во время раунда задачи будут тестироваться на предварительных тестах, а после раунда будет 12-часовая фаза открытых взломов. Мы постарались сделать приличные тесты — так же как и вы будем расстроены, если у многих попадают решения после окончания контеста.
Вам будет предложено 6 задач и 2 часа на их решение.
Штраф за неверную попытку в этом раунде (и последующих Div. 3 раундах) будет равняться 10 минутам.
Напоминаем, что в таблицу официальных результатов попадут только достоверные участники третьего дивизиона. Как написано по ссылке — это вынужденная мера для борьбы с неспортивным поведением. Для квалификации в качестве достоверного участника третьего дивизиона надо:
- принять участие не менее чем в двух рейтинговых раундах (и решить в каждом из них хотя бы одну задачу),
- не иметь в рейтинге точку 1900 или выше.
Независимо от того, являетесь вы достоверными участниками третьего дивизиона или нет, если ваш рейтинг менее 1600, то раунд для вас будет рейтинговым.
Задачи на этот раунд были придуманы MikeMirzayanov, мной и Supermagzzz и подготовлены мной и Supermagzzz.
Спасибо MikeMirzayanov за платформы и координацию нашей работы. Спасибо harlequen, manta1130, lynmisakura, Gassa, Rox antontrygubO_o, armoking, JustasLe, iankury, Sho, bugdone, Khairy за помощь в подготовке и тестировании раунда.
Удачи!

I literally started missing vovuh
Yes we all do :(
Hi everyone who mentioned me in this blog (I wonder that there are so many mentions!). I didn't do any rounds because of my university exams period. But now it is ended and I'm done with it. So I'll return a bit later with another Div.3 round (I need time to come up with problems, discuss and prepare them). Do not worry about me, I am fine :)
and being so busy you found time to reply us all. Thats what increases our love for you.
Then i am excited to see you participate in some div3 rounds.
we are for div-3 and div-3 for you
More up-vote than the main one.. it's all about vovuh popularity :3 <3
Is it rated.
yes, if your rating is less than 1600 Div 3 contest will be rated for you. but as I can see you are unrated so yes this contest will be rated for you
Hmm, then why am I not rated for this contest?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't know that it just need to be waited.
Rating gets change after 12 hours of hacking phase, in Div. 3
My rating still isn't changed, it's been 17 hours
Same here, no rating changes.
Same my friend's ratings have been changed but my rating is not changed till now.
And I started missing Vova in the contest. Spoiler: https://codeforces.net/contest/1324/problem/E
how can I become a tester?
Editorial before contest ;)
this ain't codechef! ;p
CodeChef_admin teja349 Look what world thinks about you. Thanks to the long challenge
There is a lot of cheating going on codechef long long challenge.
Search on Telegram, there a special group ( dont remember exact name but its similar to "codechef discussion" ) dedicated to discuss the test cases and solutions.
Also on YouTube found some guys explaining the solutions in comment boxes.
I really dont know why u try to blame codechef or codechef admin for such thing. They are just organising contest they are not saying u to cheat and u know what its people like u who cheat in the contest search for links on telegram and so so... and really dont know why people cheat just to gain good rating ... well my friend rating at any platform wont fetch u any job or such its the knowledge that can ... so just stop blaming and start studying
Hell yeah!! The name of telegram grp is exact same. Another reason to scrap long. I saw people there are congratulating each other and saying I got +210, i got +190 blah blah. And when i saw the shared files and photos then i realised how they acheived so. I still remeber codechef used to be good platform but now it is not so, you will barely see any (non indian) suggesting codechef. It can still regain its glory but for that they have to take some serious action and yeah plagiarism detector in long challenge is ineffective as one can easily make changes in entire code as long challenge is very supportive in such case as it give plenty of time
Forget about non-Indian...I barely see any Indian suggesting Codechef nowadays XD...
He's the codechef admin?!!!!!!!!
I tagged codechef admin and cache they are different person. Cache was admin of this contest
Oh I'm sorry.. I didn't notice that was a separate handle..
vovuh Will always be in our memory
stop saying that he will be back soon.
Consecutive div3 without vovuh :|
Shut up
Hope solving upto C will be enough to increase rating for newbies like me :|
hope is a good thing.
probably one of the best.!
"...maybe the best of things..."
And no good things ever dies.
I wish all rated(<1600) users in this DIV-3 will be Unrated in the next coming div-3 rounds! :-)
if talking logically, this is not possible.
I'm just curios, did vovuh retire?
Also almost-copy-pasted-part is a lie. :(
he has not retired bro.... he is just a bit tired.
He's a bit retired
May be vovuh is busy making a nice Div3 as after so many successive Div 3s He might have gone out of problems, but I feel that he will be back soon with a lot of quality problems.
I hope so.
Check his reply of first comment.
Thanks, ill be looking forward to it!
Read this comment Hopefully, it will clear all your doubts.
Thanks.
I have only taken part in one rated contest, I guess this one's unrated for me.
you are rated.. Read the line carefully >> "Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the third division or not, if your rating is less than 1600, then the round will be rated for you."
told ya he needed warm up :))
.
Come on, I am here for a year practising almost every day for months
Is this how months of practice looks like? There is a reason why people who are green are green.
Edit: I used Codeforces Visualizer to plot this.
Destruction level 1e9 + 7. xD
.
The graph clearly shows "Your way of practice". Mine is even poorer than yours and I clearly know what my way of practice is.
BTW which website is it ?
i think it's this
Sorry I'm new here. How do I know the rating of a problem? How do I get problems of a particular rating? And how can I access such data for myself?
Ty :)
Problemset. Here you can filter problems according to it's rating. The filter is on the right.
Thanks! What level of problems should I be solving relative to my rating?
It varies from person to person.Looking at your graph you should probably be trying problems ranging from 1400-1700(same as mine) .If you find it too difficult gradually,come down to easier questions and practice them till you get a firm grip.If you find the questions easily solvable ,move up to higher rated problems.Always remember the key point is solving problems slightly above your comfort zone.You can use various sites like a2oj (https://www.a2oj.com/Ladders.html) and (https://www.a2oj.com/Categories.html) and code-drills(https://recommender.codedrills.io/) to practice as well.
Where can i find this graph for myself?
https://cfviz.netlify.app/index.html
.
You have almost the same solve count as me on Stopstalk. But, It's hard to measure the difficulty of those numbers. Try doing more 1400-1500-1600 difficulty problems on Codeforces. By the time you do more than 100 of >=1500 problems, you won't be pupil anymore.
that's great I demoted to pupil
Always in Div.3 contest
why this meme looks like almost-copy-pasted?
Stop posting shit man
ok Boss.
my first div 3 contest as an expert excited
Now you can play without tension...I don't know when I will be a expert
No offence .. It's just a meme ..
We are missing vovuh
Did you mean the other way around? I guess Vovuh and Stepavly should be swapped in this.
Actually I have kind of lost my mind in this lockdown.
We are getting almost copy pasted blogs, one day we will get almost copy pasted problems.
yeah you can make your own codeforces for that
If I can be a pro, I will make it surely
What do you mean by "pro"? Like GM or LGM?
I think spending time on problems is of greater importance than spending time on writing beautiful or new blogs
RIP — vovuh, heh i will miss your contests(
Hope vovuh will be back for next div 3 contest.
Hope this round will give me positive rating change.
Just make 1 submission (correct or wrong doesn't matter) and then even God can't stop you from getting positive rating change. XD #newratingsystem

I used to do the same until I found this.
Sounds like the good ol advertisement line.
Helpful link tho
https://surya1231.github.io/Codeforces-contest/
follow this to get the links of all the contests of codeforces. you can also check the problems that you could not solve so that you can upsolve it later.
get it in your blog !!
What does a penalty of 10 minutes mean? If you have a wrong answer submission you lose ten minutes?
The points you lose for submitting 10 min later will be the points deducted for 1 wrong submission.
Let's take an example. Suppose you are submitting your question A after 5 minutes of contest's start time. If it is going to be correct you will be given penalty of just 5(minutes to solve question). Now suppose it is wrong on some test case.You find fault in logic and submit it after 15 minutes from the start time. So total penalty for this question would be 15(minutes to solve question) + 10(for 1 wrong submission)=25. For every wrong submission you will be awarded with 10 minutes penalty. I hope this cleared your doubt about 10 minutes penalty.
You could have simply said that we get 10 minutes behind than the actual submission time.
Well I tried my best to explain him 10 minutes behind the actual submission time.....
Live upsolving 5 mins after the round ends: https://youtu.be/Fcxm3iROflI
Good luck!
Stfmu!
Shut the fucking meme up!
My guy almost thought he is going to get +ves for the comment ((
You see LIGHT in my profile pic..?
YES!! I've always admired THE negative. [wicked smile]
not when u code in python:)
vovuh will you make div (1, 2) contest in the future??
most of the participants will be looking forward to your contests!!! and good luck to all participants who are entering this contest!! (Good luck & high rating!)
vovuh will you make div(1, 2) contest in the future??
most of the participants will be looking forward to the contest that you are making.
good luck to everyone who are participating in this contest!!!
and if you are interested and don't know look into it(there is an extension which predicts your score change after contest called CF-Predictor)
(Good luck & high rating!)
Div. 2 maybe sometimes, when I come up with good and hard enough problems. Not sure about Div. 1 :)
CF-Predictor disabled today.!!
No, it's not :)
You have 6 Hrs 30 Min to provide fastest editorial. :)
I thought vovuh was a university student... Though youth doesn't prevent him from being strong and orzable.
Actually, I am stupid and "high school" was a semantic typo because I don't remember what is high school exactly and of course because I am stupid. Sorry :(
What does orzable have to do with it?
hehe only just saw this xd
Is it rated?
Downvotes would have surely given you the answer....
waiting for this contest <3
Don't wait for something to happen, Make it happen.
Worst Problem Today: CF Predictor is disabled.
I've updated the extension, you probably didn't accept new permission. Please let me know if you have latest version of the extension (1.3.0) it's enabled and still doesn't work.
"do not have a point of 1900 or higher in the rating." 1900 or1600?
lets say at some point in time you've been 2000. then you do a huge drop and go to 1200. in this situation your current rating is under 1600, but you have a point in which your rating has been above 1900 and because of that div3 will not be rated for you. hope that helped
hope to solve a b c or a b c d
Looks like most unbalanced Div 3 ever. Solve first 3 and then netflix and chill.
its unfair and worst Div. 3 ever.
stringforces!
Worst contest of all time.
same to me..a b solved with 8 min..but c killed me..i solved at last with 6 WA.
notDiv3 Forces
Comments summarized -
Make Div.3 great again.
Bring vovuh back.
Today's contest was great. wasn't it?
yes but I think problems are more suitable for DIV-2.
Yeah, i agree that problems were tougher than usual Div3's.
Could you anyone explain answer 15-beautiful to the task E?
Counts:
adbadadbadadbad
Swap b and d, you have 6x b but there are only 5.
oops!! Thanks :)
aabddaabddaabdd
As usual xD.D always alot harder than C
F1 seems weirdly familiar: https://codeforces.net/contest/606/problem/C
Yeah..XD.. But i had found it in codechef https://www.codechef.com/PLIN2020/problems/BALASEQ
also this
How to solve F1 !?
https://www.codechef.com/PLIN2020/problems/BALASEQ
Find the longest increasing subsequence of the given array which is the subarray of the sorted version of that array. Some examples are good for this observation. Then the answer is n-size.
C to D long difference -_-
Hey, how to upload a meme?
corner cases in C sucked the crap outta me
same to me ..just 1 case fully sucked me.
How to solve C? This one was hard for me
man are you nude in pic ?? !! hell !!
But if all zero then ans=(n+k)/(k+1);
Я нашёл альтернативу задаче F этого раунда:
What is this lol?
https://codeforces.net/contest/1367/submission/84003910
Trr chacha trrr haha trrr wumbam trrr haha dalung us nadi hafanana and on on cucarella shalalala
Celebration sounds..?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZN2y-bJ-kQ
I submitted the solution for E here: https://codeforces.net/contest/1367/submission/84020235 It gives the correct output locally, as well as on codechef's online IDE. What's going on? Can anyone help?
Can someone explain their approach to F? I was thinking that the answer is something along the lines of $$$n - LIS(a)$$$ but I couldn't prove it
Yes we have to find the LIS but it should also be the subarray of sorted version of that array.
There is one more condition that LIS should be consecutive in given sorted array.
Hey, how to uploaed a meme?
This was a little tough div3 round ( or may be I'm outta practice!)
Am I the only one who was facing difficulties in implementing D?
I should have tried E first.
Looking forward for short ways to implement D.
PS. Solved D,5 mins before the contest ends. Fingers crossed for system tests.
Problem F1 is a variation of this problem: https://codeforces.net/contest/1231/problem/E
The problems were nice!
But the Huge difficulty gap between Problem C and D made the contest "FastTypeForces" !
Can Anybody tell that is there any corner case in Problem C? Getting WA on test 2. Solution — 84019963
Brother your solution is failing on some test cases... One example
n=5 k=1
string= 10100
Your output= 0
Answer should be= 1 (10101)
Please check your code accordingly.......
Thanks Brother for replying,
I think Answer should be 1. Why are you counting the '1' which is already given? we have to find additional tables that we can occupy.
Dont konw why get WA on 3 in problem D until the end of the contest. Interesting maybe I implement something stupidly wrong.
Tough div3 round!!
I found the answer for F1 as n — (longest sorted subsequence length). Why doesnt the same logic work for F2? My logic was basically keeping the already sorted things at their place and moving other numbers to sort them.
1
4
2 0 0 3
Longest sorted subsequence is 0 0 3, but you cannot move 2 to the middle in one move.
By longest sorted subsequence i did not mean Longest increasing subsequence. Sorry for the confusion. What i meant was if we sort the given sequence lets say
S = 2 0 0 3
and the sorted sequence becomes
S' = 0 0 2 3
I am calling the longest sorted subsequence as the largest subsequence in S which is a substring of S'. So for your example it will be 0 0 and the answer comes to be 2. Again, sorry for the confusion of terminology.
it will work, your way of finding the lis which occurs as sorted subarray is wrong. let's compress the array so that it contains elements from 1 to n. The problem is when an element(let's say $$$x$$$ and $$$x$$$ -1 is already taken in LIS) has multiple occurences than we need to ensure that if we take $$$x$$$ + 1 then all the occurrences of $$$x$$$ are already taken in LIS. This is the thing you are missing (i too missed this).
I do not think i missed it but i will check again :) Thank you :)
How does one come up with such observation? Its like, I thought of LIS but after seeing the last sample test case I thought may be this observation of mine is farfetched. Do I need to solve similar questions before I get any close to acing div2 and div3?
https://codeforces.net/problemset/problem/1363/F
i couldnt understand the question to the link i gave you, before. Its editorial had similar wording. So while i was trying F i thought of the operation as cyclic shifts and modeled it similar to this question. I remembered in the actual editorial (there was an editorial of this question which i cannot find link to, this question was copied from there). In the actual editorial they talk about if both types of shifts were allowed. So i modeled on that solution. I think in the end it is how many questions you have solved and how much did you learn from them. Keep solving and you will get these questions soon :)
StringForcessss
bring back vovuh
In my opinion too hard problems for div 3 and I felt like it was div 2 with more than usual problems
In my opinion too hard problems for div 3 and I felt like it was div 2 with more problems than usual
D is for div2
Problem F is very similar https://atcoder.jp/contests/agc024/tasks/agc024_b?lang=en , but I can't solve F2 ( ；∀；)
How can i solve D and E? I solved A,B,C fast but I can't get an idea how to solve these two
Problem D
Codeforces should add a new feature for rating a round. from C to D hardness jumped like anything and this isn't good for us. at the last it was just a typing round. maybe testing could have been better.
Here's how I solved D:
We have our array b. We start filling our final string at those positions where b[i]=0 {because we can fill all these positions with greatest alphabet having relevant count}. This means, first iterate over string and calculate count of each character in our original string s. Now, at each iteration, we fill all indices at which b[i]=0 with the character that is lexicographically greatest, and has a count greater than or equal to no. of indices having b[i]=0. Dont forget that with increasing iterations, the character in the final string that you fill in at all 'i's such that b[i]=0; should decrease lexicographically.
Also at each iteration, for each index value where b[i]=0; update the values in array b for every j (b[j]!=0) by b[j]= b[j]-abs(j-index[i]) {where lets say index array contains all positions in b where b[i]=0}. This is done to ensure that the contribution of positions we've already filled, is not taken further into account while filling the final string in further iterations.
Do these iterations uptil the level, all positions in the final string are assigned some character.
You can visit my profile and see my code. Its pretty understandable.
Btw It was a beautiful contest. I couldn't have time to solve E although it seemed doable to me.
..
Was E today easier than usual div3 Es?
slightly but it is ok it was more because D was hard
why there are hacks on D?
Video Tutorial C:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCNk_D5m6-I
LOL F1 was much easier than D,E
Ashishgup is back!!
Edit: Found a simpler method.
I got this diagnostics from my submission 84025940 for 1367D - Task On The Board. Does anyone know what this means?
The error is in reference with the cf evalutor, read the check log you will get it. Yours code is generating warnings but no compilation or runtime error. The ans it is printing is causing the error in the evaluator
F1 is very similar to this problem from SPOJ which I already solved. I didn't read F1 during the contest (thinking it would be very difficult) and now I submitted the same code just with one change and got accepted :-( and F1 is more easier than D and E
What's the meaning of giving such useless pretests? Isn't it better to run the whole dataset after the contest and no testcase run during the contest? If pretests of problem D didn't give the AC verdict,I would make some cases and run them for my code. The case missing in the pretest set is like:
1 aaabbc 4 3 2 1 0
Simple and necessary case.
What's the meaning of pretests? mocking?
Exactly my question. If you don't even care enough to give some critical in pretests what's the use of even giving some of those?
Many setters even exclude all the critical cases intentionally to make every contestant suffer after the contest ends. I don't actually get the actual reason behind this. Contestants love a contest with some strong pretests, not your silly evil game.
You should work on testing your own code. TopCoder for example gives very simple pretests. If pretests catch everything, then hacks will be impossible.
Yeah, I guess. The best thing we can do from our side to write the cleanest as possible code possible, I guess.
mian hehe
I have hacked my own submission with this case. I will be pleased to know how the case is invalid.
You might have given 1 aaabbc 4 3 2 1 0 in the hack. The correct format is
1
aaabbc
4
3 2 1 0
You were right. My bad
No worries, thanks.
The first example case tests the same thing and your code somehow gets marked as OK despite an invalid answer. I don't think the pretests are weak, I think the checker is broken.
No, I was not taking care of the frequency. Say, I want to put a character in the indexes where b[I] = 0. Let, I have chosen character 'x' and I don't have enough characters to put in the indexes where b[i] = 0. My code was not handling that and got AC. It's not fair at all.
MikeMirzayanov Stepavly Supermagzzz What the FUCK man. You FUCKING FUCK.
GET OUT FROM CODEFORCES.
MikeMirzayanov Stepavly i wonder how did this pass ? the complexity is O(n*n*n) 84019953
The sum of n for all test cases in one test does not exceed 3000.
I THINK its ok with the constraints.
3000^3 should be TLE :/
I think it is $$$\frac{3000^3}{8}$$$, which is aprox 3e9 and slightly fits into 2000ms.
Your algorithm has a good constant factor and TL is quite big.
it's just O(n*n)
No, the memoization is useless.
Maybe it's due to compiler optimization...
The algorithm is exactly $$$O(n^3)$$$ but the compiler greatly optimized it...
In fact, that program need to run about $$$4.5*10^9$$$ operations in the worst case (when $$$a_i$$$ is strictly increasing), which should take over $$$20$$$ seconds without optimization :(
Yes I know that my program need to run 4.5e9 in the worst case .. and i tried to hack it but i couldn't .. so i think that is unfair :/
Can any one Explain E problem?
I discuss the solution with pictures at 2:02:12 in this video.
For people who prefer video editorials, I discuss the solutions to all problems at the end of my screencast of the round.
I hope "accepted" and "pretest passed" will not follow the rule of social distancing
but vovuh should not keep social distancing from Div3
83942386 why is it giving MLE for the first question ????
because of this array int divisors[100000000] ={0};
https://codeforces.net/contest/1367/submission/84033068
check this one same as your code but without this array
Is there some problem with the checker for Problem D ?
For the case-
aabc
3
2 1 0
Many submissions give "bbc" as output and checker give them Ok response
Exactly! :/ I think this ruined the contest.
Poor Testing! Disappointed! Test cases accepting wrong answers too.
Exactly
https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/78942
why am i getting this error in trying to hack a solution ? Validator 'validator.exe' returns exit code 3 [FAIL initial string should satisfy distance condition (test case 1) can anyone help ?
I guess you are talking about problem C.
From error it seems that that you are entering string that itself is not satisfying the condition of minimum distance. Eg. For n=5 and k=1 you cannot enter input string as 10011
thanks.
Kindly have a look, this contest should be unrated.
https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/78942
why not my dashboard is not showing i have participated in this contest and even not any changes in rating
i can see you in the standing and wait for rating change.
Is the round rated yet?
Of course . Just need to wait.
Have all the submission's been re-judged after the hacking phase? it doesn't look like it.
Same question, is system testing done?
Yes, it says so in the standings.
I don't think so....
My solutions are in queue since 30 minutes!
maybe server is down,once my solutions were in queue for 4 hours..
Hey all, I am a newbie and I saw many blogs about problem D of yesterday's contest . So I want to know that whether this contest is rated for me or not . I am able to solve only problem A and B
Rated for you.rating change doesn't not related with newbie or you saw problem D in many blog..rated for all are rating less than 1600.
Ok fine but why till now no improvement in rating. Is it unrated ?
Hey i gave this contest and my rating is not updated yet I am new to codeforces how much time it takes to update rating??
The system testing is not complete yet, ones it is completed rating will get updated in 2-3 hours.
its complete ig coz the rankings arent changing anymore
It is not even started, only the hacking phase is completed.
Yeah right
solved E without graphs.. gcd and some basic operations : solution
Why has the rating not updated yet?
coz a lot of people aren't ready for that(including me)... XD
In problem D, there was an issue in the checker program, which affected some participants. I am now investigating this incident. I'll exclude from the rating all those who were affected by this mistake. During the research, I will temporarily hide the problem from the contest, then it will return. I believe that the problem affected no more than a few percents of all participants in the round. I apologize: I was one of three people who read the checker but did not notice a typo in it.
But pls make sure those who have submitted correct , they should be rated with problem D,because i see a sudden drop in my standing
Yes, the people who submitted it right must be given points for it and the system testing should be done again.
Same thinking with you :(
What's actually a hacking phase in codeforces? I'm new at it and I've seen people talking about hacking a problem or solution (don't know exactly what it is). Can someone explain about it little bit?
After the contest is over, your solution can be viewed by anyone. You can then run the solution on your custom testcases known as hacks. if the solution fails, then the hack is succesful.
Wait but if the code fails on someone's custom testcases then how did it pass the codeforces' test cases in the first place?
During a live contest, your solution is not tested on all the testcases as it will increase judging time. So a small number of strong testcases called pretests are used. But sometimes the pretests turn out to be weak.
Ohhh thanks for the clarification. i got it.
Bro it's hide the problem temporarily only. After research were complete it again return it
Will the ratings update be delayed because of this?
Yes, I think it will
MikeMirzayanov, if my D was hacked because of the issue with the checker, I don't think the contest should be unrated for me because I spent two hours on the contest from my valuable time. Please consider the D as a wrong answer just like any other hacked answer and rate the contest for the affected people. I worked hard for all the problems and I am sure so did the other affected people.
I agree. The decision doesn't seem fair to me.
For the first time, I was on the verge of becoming an Expert and now, I am unrated in the contest. This is largely unfair. I request the organizers MikeMirzayanov and Stepavly to please reconsider.
After solving A B C pretty fast if I had left D i would have gained aroung 50 but for trying D and almost solving it (just missing the frequency check) the contest is unrated for me. Doesnt seem fair.
Have they made it official that the contest is unrated? If so, then could you please provide me a link or let me know where you found it?
My account is missing from the standings. So are the ones who did D wrong.
same here!..This is totally unfair. Just treat the prob D as the wrong answer and make the contest rated.
How you can be unrated for problem D , that you did not solved yet.. just wrong answer on test 1. my friend Adicr7 also got WA on 2 but he is still rated..your on may be other reason ..
This seems quite unfair to me, as I solved A,B and C fast. Although D solution was hacked, but still my rating would have increase. But suddenly, now I am unrated for the contest.
Please explain me where problem D is ??

tks
Can you read a few comments up?
_Tien_ See MikeMirzayanov's comment here
Why is the problem D removed?
Read a few comments up
I wonder why would anybody post such a question without checking the comment section for the answer first.
extremely sorry I didn't see the above comments, will take care next time onwards
Read comments above you.
There is a problem with the checker For the case- aabc 3 2 1 0 Many submissions give "bbc" as output and checker give them Ok response
This was my first contest on codeforces, but its not showing any rating for me?
You have to wait(
This is not atcoder). I guess it will be updated within an hour.Upd: I was wrong. 1 hour has passed. But not updated yet.
Upd2: 2 hours!!
Because ratings are not updated yet.
how much more time will it take for rating to show
Hope problem D will return soon.:D
Already returned...
I'm sorry. :(
I just learned the issues about problem D a few minutes ago and didn't notice that.
When the ratings will be updated ...
Same here, I hope it's going to happen soon
I am refreshing the tab continuously since few hours.
Me Too XD
One of my friends solved 5 problems and rating predictor was showing +139.Later his D got hacked.still rating predictor showed +58.Now this round is unrated for him.This is so pathetic.
This round is unrated for him only or everyone ??
For him and some other participants too but not for everyone.
Thanks for clarification.
:(
I also solved A, B, C, and D. D didn`t pass the final tests and I was removed from the contest:).
Don't know why but my rank is just toggling between 558 and 670 every time I refresh, looks like rankings have not been finalized yet
[sheeeeeeeesh]
Can you say it in a way that everybody understands?
I understood.Actually large amount of pretests create long queues for that reason the time needed to show verdict becomes too long.But setters want to set strong testcases so that it may pass system test.But it is completely your misfortune to get wa or tle or some other verdict except accepted after system test or hacking phase.
hi i want to tell that "rishab1815" mushkilWaqt_CommandoSakt and "Rishabsoni1815" Rishabsoni1815 are both my accounts
Attention!
Your solution 83955381 for the problem 1367B significantly coincides with solutions rishab1815/83955381, Rishabsoni1815/84010648. Such a coincidence is a clear rules violation. Note that unintentional leakage is also a violation. For example, do not use ideone.com with the default settings (public access to your code). If you have conclusive evidence that a coincidence has occurred due to the use of a common source published before the competition, write a comment to post about the round with all the details. More information can be found at http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/8790. Such violation of the rules may be the reason for blocking your account or other penalties. In case of repeated violations, your account may be blocked.
please see in this matter @codeforces MikeMirzayanov
You cannot use multiple accounts in a contest.This is a violation of contest rules
i have two ID on Codeforces. Unfortunately, I have submitted solutions of a contest from both of my id and hence, I got an email regarding clash of solutions. What should i do to prevent both of my ids from being blocked??
Now you have to suffer for your deeds.
So, what will be the severest result?
it may happen definitely that one of your account will be blocked or also possible that both of your account. Don't go blindly for ratings , make yourself a good coder ...
If you have done this for first time,your id will not be blocked.But repeatedly doing this may result in blocking or some other severe punishment.
all of my submissions were skipped....
This time you will only get skipped. But the next time your ids will be vanished.
[Now Changed]
[Not Changed]
Some people faced hack on D and in the last they became unrated. I know , some of them solved a b c very fast and will get + rating. But think logically if judge them just skip D who faced hacked on D, some people get — rating for only system problem..So some people always faced unfair. GL and hope for your best..
Yes, but whenever there was a problem in tests or something else, the round became unrated. Now they simply crossed out a layer of players indiscriminately. A strange decision, it was possible by individual decision of the participant to remove or not remove him from the competition
And what's more — my decision D wasnt hacked — it didnt pass the final tests.
i feel your pain bro. I think you will back to be more strength full and do good. GL & take love
my rating is 1328 but i am newbie , I want to know the boundary of pupil. Please tell me
Mike will change it.dont worry.sometimes it happens
Can anyone tell me why my rating is not updated? My solution to problem D was Hacked(Is is the reason?)
Yes
Hacking a task is the reason that the rating will be given less, or it will be removed altogether, but it`s not the reason for removal from the list of participants, most likely it is a system bug, task D either disappears, then appears, and problems arise in people who decided or tried to solve D
contest is declared unrated
Is is unrated for only those whose problem D got wrong?
Yes...whose problem D was wrong first then got accepted or got hacked...or those who hacked solutions for problem D
I am in position 3670 with ABC solved and I got rating update from 1217 to 1263. In the same position 3670 with ABC solved, another one got update from 1227 to 1339. Can anyone explain this system?
Please read this.
Now participants will gain some extra rating in their first $$$6$$$ rated contests.
Thanks, didn't know this.
My rating did not change in this contest. Can you tell me why?
I participated in this round properly but it shows a star next to my submissions and my rating did not change. Can anyone tell me why this happened?
@MikeMirzayanov i participated in this round but my rating is not updated.
Yes same . My rating also not changed @MikeMirzayanov
Have a patience.
I registered and participated in the contest but my rating didn't change . After the problem D came back to rank list I was removed from the official rank list . Why ? Please anyone tell me. @MikeMirzayanov
why hasn't my rating changed?My friends ratings changed..
if your D solve was hacked, You are removed from the list of participants.I hope this is temporary, because I have the same situation.
Could someone please help me figure out the error in my code? https://pastebin.com/wvfqbw6Z Fails a particular case in test case 2.
It would better if you'd share the link to your failed submission (instead of pastebin). It would at least be clear what problem you are talking about.
on line 34 (without comment-i just count from up)
need to change from>>> l = one_pos[0] — k — 1; //left free length to >>> l = one_pos[0] — k; //left free length
** just need to remove -1 .. i think you did it mistakenly..
lol.I just deleted from the final results. They didn’t even give a rating. WTF @MikeMirzayanov:D?

I guess all participant with wrong submissions(accepted initially) for problem D along with the hacked ones are removed from official rank list. And rating has been updated for the rest of the participant.
well well well. I solved 3 tasks. I took the 900 place.I had to get 45 to the rating. And i was kicked? Really? While the rest of the participants got their rating? Very nice idea.Bravo
Really it hurts.
Why my rating is no change? My rating less than 1600, but now my rating is no change!
My rating did not change either. Someone tell me that post here #bugyforces , I don't know if it is a joke, but there's nothing to lose, I think...
Isn't problem 1367F2 - Flying Sort (Hard Version) too similar to 1223D - Sequence Sorting? I got AC on the easy version by just copying the solution of 1223D.
Submissions: 72059675 84097673
Why I'm not in the rank list? My rating didn't change either.
round is unrated...bcoz checker for problem D was wrong
Sorry, the round is unrated for less than 1% of participants who caught a mistake in the problem D. I understand that even with such mistake some participants work hard and can have positive rating change, but it is too hard to find them.
