    They should have asked for the exact assignment instead of just the maximum value, so that they can check for a FAIL verdict correctly. (FYI, FAIL is the verdict when the submission found a better solution than the jury's) They might have found the issue before the contest if this was the case.

      There are 6 guests who likes the dish #1, and the remaining 5 likes the #2. So if we split the 6 guests in table #1 and #2, and the 5 who like #2 at table #3, all 11 guests will be happy.

A brief tutorial to problem E, for people like me who cannot follow the official one:

Value $$$x$$$ will appear in one of the edges iff: $$$L \leq px < (p+1)x \leq R$$$, where $$$p=ceil(\frac{L}{x})$$$.

Now we enumerate every value of $$$p$$$ and count the number of possible $$$x$$$ for each $$$p$$$.

For $$$p=p_0$$$, the above inequality gives range of x: $$$\frac{L}{p_0} \leq x \leq \frac{R}{p_0+1}$$$.

Note that there is a hidden constraint of $$$ceil(\frac{L}{x}) = p_0$$$. This translates to $$$\frac{L}{p_0} \leq x < \frac{L}{p_0-1}$$$.

Combine the two ranges above, we get, for $$$p=p_0$$$, possible values of $$$x$$$ satisfies: $$$\frac{L}{p_0} \leq x \leq min(\frac{R}{p_0+1}, floor(\frac{L-1}{p_0-1}))$$$.

And we use sqrt decomposition to solve this counting problem: For $$$p\leq sqrt(L)+1$$$, we compute the range of $$$x$$$. For $$$p > sqrt(L)+1$$$, we have $$$x \leq sqrt(L)$$$, so we can just iterate through all $$$x$$$ values.

Complexity is $$$O(sqrt(L))$$$.

    Group people by what they like, and while there are groups of people and tables left, try to put the largest group on the largest table. If they don't fit, just use as many as you can and subtract that amount before deleting the table. If they do fit, delete the group of people and the table. "Answer" is however many people this process gives a table. The original might've been slightly different, but this is the silly wrong solution I got AC with.

    Consider the real number is 24 its binary representation is 11000, and you need to guess this number. also, you can't subtract a number greater than the real number so if we subtracted 1 from real number which was 24, we will have 23 which its binary representation is 10111 so the number of unit bits has been changed and become 4-unit bits instead of 2 how this happened? hence, we now have 23 which has 4-unit bits and previous has 2 so the LSB at index (4-2+1) 0-based we add 1<<lsbIndex to obtain the real number. I hope that helped you.

Can someone give a test case where this approach gives a wrong answer to C?

  1. Calculate how many meals of each type and how many tables of each size there are.

  2. Go through the meals, if there is a table with the same size as the count of that meal, then put those people to that table.

  3. Put remaining meal and table counts to two priority queues. While there are still some empty tables or not all people has a spot: take the top of meals and put them at the biggest empty table, if some people who like that meal are still left, check if there is empty table with that amount of spots, if there is put them there, otherwise put that number back to priority queue.

    Ok, here's a counterexample: tables are 2 2 3 and people are 1 1 1 1 2 2 2. The second step goes as no-op, so you will take ones into the third table (which has 3 seats) and then twos are placed in the remaining first/second table, which is not a correct strategy since you could have placed ones into first and second table and then remaining twos into the third table.

My approach for D (similar to the second tutorial solution, it seems, but it doesn't explicitly need flags and might be easier to understand for some):

To determine whether the last bit is 0 or 1, we can simply subtract 1. If the last bit was a 1, then it becomes 0 and the $$$cnt$$$ decreases by exactly 1. Now that the last bit is already 0, we can check the second-to-last bit by subtracting 2. In general, if the last $$$k$$$ bits are set to 0 while the rest of the bits are unchanged from the original, we can test bit position $$$k$$$ (from the right) by subtracting $$$2^k$$$ and seeing if $$$cnt$$$ decreases by exactly 1.

But what happens when the bit at the position we're testing (let's say position $$$k$$$) is actually a 0? In that case, $$$cnt$$$ either stays the same or increases, so we know that this position originally has a 0. However, this attempted subtraction of $$$2^k$$$ ruins our desired pattern, because the bit at position $$$k$$$ changed from 0 to 1 and at least one bit on its left has changed. We would have wanted the bits from up to position $$$k$$$ to all be 0 and everything else unchanged in order to test the next bit, at position $$$k + 1$$$...

We can deal with this by "undoing" the latest undesirable subtraction by instead treating it as part of the next subtraction. Normally, the next subtraction is supposed to be $$$2^{k + 1}$$$, but since we already performed an undesirable subtraction of $$$2^k$$$, we simply subtract another $$$2^k$$$ to result in a overall subtraction of $$$2^{k + 1}$$$ as if the undesired subtraction never happened.

Note that there could be a sequence of undesirable subtractions, in which case, we just keep track of the total of the undesirable subtractions and treat them all as part of the next subtraction. Eventually, we would have to find a 1, which resolves all these undesirable subtractions. Once we find the MSB, the $$$cnt$$$ should become 0, at which point, we are done.

My submission: 190561881 ($$$acc$$$ is the accumulation of undesired subtractions that we are trying to undo)

      I have similar solution. Mine is: calculate $$$dp[x]$$$ -- number of ways to choose a triple which value of gcd is $$$x$$$. To calculate amount of such triples for every $$$x$$$ sort an array then for every $$$x$$$ consider only numbers which are divisible by $$$x$$$, let their indices be $$$ind$$$, we should calculate sum over all $$$i < j$$$ of $$$ind_j - ind_i - 1$$$, we can calculate it by iterating over these indices storing sum of considered indices and their cnt. Then you have a $$$dp$$$ where you should substract from $$$dp[x]$$$ $$$dp[2 * x], dp[3 * x], ...$$$ to obtain correct answer.

    Consider for g<sqrt(L) and g>sqrt(L) respectively, for the first situation there's at most sqrt(L) values of g, so ceil(L/g) will have at most sqrt(L) values. For the second situation, we have 1<=ceil(L/g)<L/g+1<L/sqrt(L)+1=sqrt(L)+1, so there's at most ceil(sqrt(L)) different values.

    Let $$$preres_x$$$ be the number of ways of choosing the triplets where the $$$gcd(a_i,b_j)$$$ is a multiple of $$$x$$$ and $$$res_x$$$ be the number of ways of choosing the triplets where $$$gcd(a_i,b_i)$$$ is exactly $$$x$$$. You can calculate array $$$res$$$ from $$$preres$$$. If you know the values of $$$res_y$$$ for all $$$y$$$ (where $$$y$$$ is a multiple of $$$x$$$) and $$$preres_x$$$, then you can calculate the value of $$$res_x$$$ and finally, $$$res_1$$$ will be the answer. You can do this by iterating from $$$3*10^5$$$ to $$$1$$$.

    The time complexity is sum of harmonic sequence $$$\sum_{x = 1}^{N} \left \lfloor \frac{N}{x} \right \rfloor$$$ which is equal to $$$O(nlogn)$$$.

Can someone please tell me what was wrong with C? My approach to solving C was: Group all the guests having the same liking. Now assign the biggest group to the largest table. If some guests are still left, insert them in the priority queue and continue this way.

    Your approach is incorrect. Consider the following scenario:

    • 6 people like dish 1, and 4 people like dish 2.
    • Three tables, with capacities 3, 3, and 4 respectively.

    If you assign the biggest group to the largest table, then the 4-table serves dish 1 (all four like it), one of the 3-tables serves dish 2 (all three like it), and the other 3-table serves dish 1 (two out of three like it), with one unsatisfied guest. But if you instead had both 3-tables serve dish 1 while the 4-table serves dish 2, then everyone would be satisfied.

Even though C couldn't be solved with given constraints during the contest I think it's better to lower constraints to make it solvable, write a proper solution and post the updated solution in the editorial, instead of completely removing it from the contest and archive. The problem is not bad at all, tbh.

    It's NP-hard, which means it almost certainly cannot be solved in polynomial time. Constraints would require $$$n$$$ to be about $$$20$$$, or maybe even less! The brute-force solution would be incredibly dull. There may be heuristics to speed it up and allow a little higher constraints, but this is not suitable for CP.
