Hi!

Codeforces round #628 (vintage Codeforces round #2) will take place on 14.03.2020 17:35 (Московское время). It's rated for the second division, but, as usual, first division participants can take part out of competition.

The problems were created by me. I'd like to thank, and orz, antontrygubO_o for coordinating the round; ramchandra, pajenegod, aryanc403, taran_1407, Kuroni, mcdx9524, dorijanlendvaj, Andreasyan, 300iq, zoooma13, Osama_Alkhodairy, Mohammad_Yasser, and TripleM5da (special shout-out) for testing the round; and of course MikeMirzayanov for the great codeforces and polygon platforms.

You'll be given 6 problems and 2 hours to solve them.

UPD: the scoring distribution will be 500-750-1250-1750-2500-2750.

UPD: the editorial is out.

UPD: congratulations to the winners!

Div.1:-

  1. tmwilliamlin168
  2. jqdai0815
  3. Um_nik
  4. imeimi
  5. HIR180

Div.2:-

    As mentioned here.

    The 1900+ rating means that you're part of the first division

    So, 1900 i believe.

      No, when a div1 round and a div2 round both are going on simultaneously then the div2 round is rated for participants upto 1900 rating. If only a div2 round is being conducted, its rated for participants having a rating upto 2100

        Well I know this fact. And I'm sure even you would know that each and every time, any Div 2 contest is hosted alone, it is always mentioned in the contest announcement post 'rated till 2100'. That was why I preferred confirming once.

        I don't understand why people here just start downvoting the comments. If the query was so stupid, please accept my apology and don't mind :)

          Maybe this comment of mine will be downvoted for no reason.

          But one more thing is there, maybe people thought your question was a little stupid (the part you wrote about the 2100 rating always being mentioned wasn't written)

      You would have to take care that the parent on the leafs where you place the edges 0 and 1 is not the same vertex. Because if it is, that MEX will be 2 instead of 1.

      Edit: It turns out I am completly wrong with this. There is no need to take care for the parent. The only thing to take care of is not placing the edge 2 between the edges 0 and 1. For that it is perfectly fine to simply place the numbers 0,1,2 in leaf edges.

    If it's a chain, then fill all the edges randomly.

    Otherwise, choose a node of which degree is 3 or above, fill three of the edges using 0, 1, 2; others random.

    It can be proved to be one of the best answers.

    Here's what I did : Sort all vertices by their degree in descending order. Now, starting from the vertice with the maximum degree, try and fill all its unfilled edges with numbers in a serial manner( Maintain a count variable. Fill edges with the count variable and increment it everytime you fill an edge )

    I tried to construct bit by bit, starting at lowest bit and the xor input. Then add bits to get the sum, by adding the one lower bit twice to two numbers in the array. And so on...

    4 years ago, # ^ |
    Rev. 4   Vote: I like it +5 Vote: I do not like it

    The answer is at most 3 or it is impossible.

    If $$$u$$$ and $$$v$$$ don't have same parity or $$$u>v$$$, it is impossible.

    If $$$u=v$$$ the answer is $$$0$$$ if $$$u=0$$$, $$$1$$$ otherwise.

    Otherwise, try to build a pair which xor gives $$$u$$$ and sum gives $$$v$$$. Let $$$t=(v-u)/2$$$. If $$$u$$$ and $$$t$$$ don't have any bits in common, a pair of solution is $$$u+t$$$ and $$$t$$$.

    Otherwise, $$$t$$$, $$$t$$$, $$$u$$$ is a solution.

  • »
    »
    4 years ago, # ^ |
      Vote: I like it +4 Vote: I do not like it

    Look at the bitwise representation of $$$u$$$. Every bit that equals 1 means that there is an odd # of elements with that set bit. Every bit that equals 0 means there is an even # of elements with that set bit (because 1^1^... odd number of times = 1, 1^1^... even number of times = 0). So one of the array elements is at least equal to u. Suppose first element of array = $$$u$$$. Then we have to add two elements such that we don't change the parity of set bits; i.e., we must add two of the same element, call it $$$y$$$. This is 3 total. But then we can consolidate one of the $$$y$$$ into $$$u$$$, iff $$$u$$$ AND $$$y$$$ equals 0.

      I had this idea, too. if u-v is even, add (u-v)/2 twice. But how does it work if u-v is odd?

      We cannot add both numbers, because one bit will be set wrong then.

      Edit: Fuck it, the parity of u and v is same! I had this before, checked and output -1. So, if the parity is same, the difference is allways even. The odd case does not exist.

    Rev. 2   Vote: I like it +3 Vote: I do not like it

    You can make array of one element if the XOR value equals to SUM,

    the one's bits in XOR must appear in odd numbers in array.

    so we can make array of two elements if the following conditions comes true,

    one of the two numbers has the one's bits in XOR

    and the remainder rem = (XOR — SUM),

    can be distributed among two numbers (must be half in the first and half in the second to get XOR ZERO)

    and the XOR of those two number must be the same of XOR in the input

    and you can make array of three elements if the following conditions comes true,

    one of the three numbers has the one's bits in XOR

    and the remainder rem = (XOR — SUM),

    distributed among the other two numbers equally to get (XOR zero) when XOR them,

    so when we XOR the input with zero we got XOR.

    otherwise there is no answer.

    I got wrong answer in testcase 18 because of not handling the answer for size 3 properly.

    Basically, for size 3 you have to print u, (v — u)/ 2, (v — u) / 2

    Instead, I printed u, v / 2, v / 2

      you think that first value is v and rest value is adding number to u to satisfy xor

      if bit of difference of v-u is 1, you can make two number (1<<(bit-1) and (1<<(bit-1) because (1<<(bit-1))^(1<<(bit-1)) = 0 and (1<<(bit-1)) + (1<<(bit-1)) = (1<<bit)

      so you can make three values in array

      but if (1<<(bit-1))^v == 1, you just add the number v to (1<<(bit-1)) so you probably make the two number in array

E:

We can divide every number by square of a prime until it is a product of primes. If there is an $$$1$$$ or 2 indices with the same number, we already found an answer.

Also observed that in each number there will be at most one prime larger than 1000.

What can be done next to get the solution?

UPD: seems I miss that its "divisors" not "prime divisors", thanks editorial.

Other Solution for C:

count = no of leaf node(node with degree == 1)

if(count >= 3):set any three leaf node to 0, 1, 2 that will set the upper boundary for MEX to 2

because any path in tree can have maximum 2 leaf nodes

Lol. Didn't solve D because I didn't consider just 1 case: if(u == v) {cout<<1<<'\n'<<u; return 0;}

My Java solution for E passed in 2979 ms. Talk about scraping the time limit.

Is this solution (73271134) for F hackable, or is it accidentally correct? I sort of combined both of the editorial solutions without understanding either of them.

First, I attempt to find the independent set with exactly the editorial's "A solution using degrees" algorithm. In a set, keep a list of (degree[i], i) pairs, and keep taking the node with minimal degree and invalidating each node's neighbors, updating the degrees of the neighbors of each invalidated node in the set.

The if (n <= 16) brute-force part is only there to counter some of the manually generated edge cases, which tend to be small.

Then, I run DFS from random starting nodes. This DFS runs in arbitrary order, and when it hits an ancestor in the DFS tree, checks if the cycle is long enough/prints it. It runs until it either finds an answer, doesn't, or TLEs (might be $$$O(n^2)$$$ at worst).

is it just me or has codeforces slowed down on the contests! The next one is after 5 days! :(

Hi, i was banned for copy pasting. But it's system error :) There are some reasons, why it is impossible to stole his solution: 1) Code is really simple and there were too many participants, that's why chance of two similar codes is really hight 2) I am from Russia, he is from France))) 3) Also i wrote him, and i believe, that he will agree with me, because it's really strange, i didn't know him before this :| Thank you for your attention and i hope that you will solve this problem, because it's really sad(

    Hello, I am the person the system claims Witless_Deer copied from. For the reasons he mentioned (especially reason #1), it is ridiculous to claim that he copied me. Look at our submissions for B to see for yourselves.

    Consider the paths between all nodes. If the edge with value 0 is not on such a path, the MEX of that path is 0.

    So, consider the paths with the 0. The MEX of these paths is 1, except if the edge with value 1 is also in this path. Then it is at least 2.

    So, is it possible that there is no path with edges 0 and 1 in the path?

    It turns out, no, that is not possible. Since by the simple fact that the path from two nodes of the edges with value 0 and 1 has both edges in it. So it allways exists.

    But now we are close to the solution. How can we place the edge with value 2 in a way that it is not on that path, too?

    Well, more or less simple, we place that edge not on the path between the edges 0 and 1. Then it is not.

    Last question to answer is, how do we implement this, how can we find suitable vertex and edges? The tutorial answers this clearly: We search an vertex with at least 3 edges, and use these 3. Then the edge with value 2 will not be on path between the edges 0 and 1.

I like how all Ehab contests are based on intense maths and number theory.

Few Hour ago i got a message from System. I'm sharing it here.

**Attention!**
**Your solution 73232959 for the problem 1325B significantly coincides with solutions sazidnur/73232959, secsee/73233935. Such a coincidence is a clear rules violation. Note that unintentional leakage is also a violation. For example, do not use ideone.com with the default settings (public access to your code). If you have conclusive evidence that a coincidence has occurred due to the use of a common source published before the competition, write a comment to post about the round with all the details. More information can be found at http://codeforces.com/blog/entry/8790. Such violation of the rules may be the reason for blocking your account or other penalties. In case of repeated violations, your account may be blocked.**

My PC is too slow. So i use ideone to compile my code and also i feel comfort at online IDE but I've made a mistake. Today's morning (Bangladesh Standard Time), By mistake I change my code sharing option private to public and i didn't notice this before contest. So someone got my code on internet. I admit that it's my fault and also i promise that, I will never make this kind of mistake again.

I don't know why but my submissions from that contest are still shown as pretests passed. Moreover, all of them were evaluated as failed attempts. And my rating has dropped :/ I firstly thought maybe system evaluated my submissions like I cheated. However, I did not receive anything regarding to that. Can someone check this?

    It happens when your submissions are evaluated and you are found guilty under Plagiarism check. I think you should reach out to Codeforces Authorities regarding the same.

    Have a nice day!

    Exactly.. One more thing which I liked was that problem statements were to the point rather than long paragraphs, and properly framed.
