I was reading to levlam's code for Codeforces 85D (Sum of Medians) :  http://pastie.org/3224822 

It is nice how he does insertion and elimination of elements in O(lg n) by using lower_bound, but I can't understand why the code passes since it has complexity O(n / 5) for each sum query. Could someone explain why it passes?

By n I mean the number of elements currently stored at the vector.

He does not make operations insert and delete in O(log(n)), vector<int>::insert(interator, value) is O(n), erase operation also is O(n). His solution is O(n^2), He is very lucky, and the tests are weak

    Well weak tests explain it, thanks.

      And fast codeforces servers, and array of size 512 kb can be placed in L1 processor's cache, and some processor's optimisations while copying an array...
