Following is the code I submitted for question 3 after contest. for all the vectors created by my code I tested them with the first question code. It passed on all the combinations but codejam gave WA. I would be very thankful if someone can point out the mistake.

include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; define ll long long int define MOD 1000000007 define N 100000 //array size int main(){ int testcases,it=1; cin>>testcases; while(it<=testcases){

int n,c;
    cin>>n>>c;
    vector<ll> vec(n,0);
    cout<<"Case #"<<it<<":"; it++;
    if(c < n-1 || c> (n*(n+1)/2-1)){
        cout<<" IMPOSSIBLE\n";}
    else{
        ll val = 1,curr=0,d=-99,sig=-1;
        c= c-n+1;
        int j;
        for(j=1;j<n;j++){
            val = 1+max(0,min(n-j,c));
            c= c-(n-j);
            if(d==1 && val ==1){

                while(curr >= 0 && curr <n  && vec[curr]!=0) curr+=sig;
                if(curr<0 || vec[curr]!=0 ){
                    if(sig==-1) sig =1;
                    else sig =-1;
                    while(vec[curr]!=0) curr+=sig;
                }
                vec[curr]=j;
            }
            else if(j%2==0){
                vec[curr-val-1]=j;
                curr-=val;
                sig=-1;
            }else{
                vec[curr+val-1]=j;
                curr+=val;  
                sig =1;
            }
            d=val;
        }
        for(ll i=0;i<n;i++){
            if(vec[i]==0){
                vec[i]=n;
            }
            cout<<" "<<vec[i];
        }
        vec.clear();
        cout<<endl;

    }
}
