I'm looking forward to participating the contest! Actually, the last time they held ABC was 18th February, but I couldn't take part in. On a personal note, E869120 is the person who pulled me into the world of competitive programming, and I really appreciate it. BTW, I hope my rating will be increased.

Very nice contest and problem D was especially elegant ! What was the inspiration for it ? Was it taken from some Math contest ?

Here is the GitHub of all my codes.

Here is the Quora Blog post about problem D.

    In fact, at first I wanted to set problem D constructive problem. Then, I thought 15 minutes. I thought "It is good to make problem about prime and composite numbers for ABC-D". Actually I wrote 4 ABCs, so I should know what problem is good for ABC. Finally, after thinking 40 minutes, I came up with the problem.

      Great work ! This was the first AtCoder contest where I upsolved all 4 problems !

      I love constructive problems.

      Did you notice any other solutions ?

I misread problem D (thought the sum of the whole array had to be composite) because I skimmed it, gave up on finding the bug, then realized after contest my solution was basically the same idea as editorial but I solved a different problem.

      OK. I thought it was the whole array not 5 elements.

      Mod 2 Solution only works for evens, so I did the next easiest thing: mod 3.

      if n mod 3 = 0 loop through primes in the sequence 4, 7, 10 (mod 3 = 1)

      n mod 3 = 1, print out 3 (which is 0 mod 3), then do the same strategy as above

      n mod 3 = 2 print out 2, then do same strategy as above

      Sum will always be multiple of three.

      The idea is the same as tutorial: if you have n items how to add them so they are divisible by k, well you just add then so that x mod k == 1 is n is divisible by k. And you use an offset otherwise (since everything was 5 you didn't have to).

      I just went back to sleep after submitting problems, so I didn't check if any of them were right (and thus I was surprised when I got the problem wrong)

    Oh, no. I made the testcase of problem C, so it's my mistake that I didn't made such simple testcase. I thought that I made some corner cases, but I only concentrated to make "maximal cases" for corner case one, so we should definitely make "minimal cases". I will be aware of it next time.
