Competition must have started, does anybody have a clue if there will be a livescore? Can't find any on the website.

    1. Given N and K, find sum of all the numbers strictly less than N having exactly K ones in its binary representation. N <= 10^15

    2. Given N, find sum as an irreducible fraction . Output P and Q.

    3. Given a set of N <= 10^5 non-intersecting (and non-overlapping) rectangles with sides parallel to coordinate axes, and having coordinates between 1 and 10^6, answer Q <= 10^5 queries of kind: Find the sum of the lengths of intersections of a ray with every rectangle in the set, where every ray is starting from some point at x-axis and forming an angle of 45 degrees, 90 degrees, or 135 degrees with x-axis.

There are people from Turkmenistan in the results table. But Turlmenistan isn't a Balkan Region country.

How other countries (not from Balkan region can participate in this contest)?

    Look at the rules, they can be invited but they aren't official participants IIRC.

    This year they wrote to the organizing committee, and this is what any country can do in any year. BOI (as well as CEOI, from what I know) is open to inviting new countries, only that they are considered unofficially

What happened to Turkish team? They're in the participant list but none of them in standings.

    Our team's leaders' passport issuances were delayed due to bureaucratic reasons. So sadly we couldn't attend this year's Balkan Olympiad.

Does anyone know of a judge where you can submit the problems which have a special checker (minmax tree for example)?

And have the official checkers been published?

    They haven't been posted on the official website, but we don't mind sharing them with anybody who wants to add them to an online judge.

      And I spend almost an hour yesterday writing my own checker :/

      Why not make them public? It would be a great help. Because we had an idea of simulating the competition but nobody wanted to write the checker :D

      I have a question: the tests for the task popa seems obfuscated. Can you provide testcases in a normal format or tell us how we can extract them ourselves?

        I didn't write the grader, but afaik the format of the grader is:

        Maximum number of queries per test
        Number of tests (usually 5)
        Test 1
        Test 2
        ...
        Test 5
        

        Each of the tests is described as follows:

        N X
        exp1[1] exp1[2] ... exp1[N]
        exp2[1] exp2[2] ... exp2[N]
        ...
        expX[1] expX[2] ... expX[N]
        

        Where X is the number of prime factors of the numbers (usually around 10). S is then given by:

        S[1] = 2exp1[1]·3exp2[1]·5exp3[1]·...

        S[2] = 2exp1[2]·3exp2[2]·5exp3[2]·...

        And so on.

          Thanks! It works with one exception:

          S[i] = 21000000 - exp1[1]·31000000 - exp2[1]·...

          for some reason :P

            The input is as Andrei1998 said. It is not necessarly to think it as gcd. There could be lcm or other such operation as well.

            An index i can be the father of index j if:
            
            exp1[i] >= exp1[j]
            exp2[i] >= exp2[j]
            ...
            expX[i] >= expX[j]
            
            This is the only thing the grader is based on.
            

            I will upload the grader to the BOI official website shortly.

    The only information I have at the moment is that at least 22 participants (including the unofficial participants) won a medal in the JBOI. The ceremony was held, yet there are no final standings with medals on the site.

You can submit all the problems from BOI 2018 here: https://oj.uz/problems/source/352

Since checkers, interactors and graders are entirely written by us, they could contain some bugs. If you spot one of them (if they exist :p), please notify us :D
