    Er,only 43 contestants passed D1 250,but 152 contestants passed D1 450,are you sure these two problems are in correct order?

      Yes. Why not? :-)

      D1 250 was actually easy, but with a couple of corner cases that a lot of people missed. I believe that contest versatility is a good thing, and once in a while we should have an easy problem with plenty of challenge opportunity. After all, my all-time favorite problem is MooresLaw, which had only one corner case but gave me 6 successful challenges and my first room win :-)
