Hi, I hope this blog entry finds you well and you are doing fine,
I was wondering if somebody can share with us a simple tutorial for the problem above. There doesn't exist a tutorial for this round.

Since the number of glasses <=10 , this turns out to be a simple simulation problem. Let G[i][j] be the the champagne in jth glass of ith row,when we have processed 1->i-1 rows(note that this quantity may be greater than 1 as we have still not considered the overflow). Now you can see that the overflowing wine can fall into 2 glasses G[i+1][j] and G[i+1][j+1] . Thus the simulation can be performed using a 2-D array. You can see my solution for implementation details.

While reading, I just caught this: "Since the number of glasses <=10 , this turns out to be a simple simulation problem".
So if N is pretty large, can't we use this simulation method?
well the simulation method takes a minimum of O(N*(N+1)/2) which is actually a good time if N doesn't exceed 4*10^4 approximately so No a simulation won't be preferred in the kind of a N=10^5 situation
