What's is sorting order on HackerRank (in particular on 101 Hack)?

    You mean, sorting order of problems?

      No, I mean sorting order of participants in the leaderboard (Well, first thing is surely points, and then something else (or random?))

        For same score tie breaking is done on Sum(time_of_submit)
        Like cumulative sum
        so challenge 1 got AC at 130th second, Challenge 2 got AC at 400th second. Total penalty is 530 seconds.

          So, basicly as in ACM but without penalty time?

          Is the same holds for standing for each challange?

          here there's label "1 hour ago" when hover me and "44 minutes ago" for person before me. But he is above me somehow.

    Let's solve it bit by bit. It's easy to see that on bits with number BIG = 314159 + max(a.len(), b.len()) +-1 and greater the xor'ands are always 0.

    So for each bit we should calculate how many times it's 1. a[bit] is fixed and (b << i)[bit] are b[i], b[i — 1], b[i-314159]. With prefix sums you may understand how many times the last one is 1. So multiply it or (314159 + 1- it) by 2^bit (precalculated for all bits up to BIG)
