Why some arc have discussions on codeforces but some don't?

Actually, C can be solved in $$$O(n)$$$.

      I did. If you didn't notice, there is a link to screencast with commentary, where I'm explaining $$$O(n)$$$ solution to C, among other things.

        emmmm.....I just thought you can solve the "subtree mex" in O(n)....

        Well I know the O(n) solution for THIS porblem.

        Anyway thank you!

I solved A by counting inversions in $$$O(n$$$ $$$log$$$ $$$n)$$$. The idea is creating a new array $$$cnt$$$ where $$$cnt_i$$$ is the number of $$$j$$$ so that $$$i < j$$$ and $$$a_i > a_j$$$. Then the answer is the number of minimum elements in array $$$cnt$$$. However I can't quite explain why it worked.

For problem B I just try to move the number $$$n$$$ to position $$$n$$$, $$$n-1$$$ to position $$$n-1$$$. When you are down to $$$1$$$ and $$$2$$$, if $$$2$$$ is in front of $$$1$$$, the answer is $$$No$$$. The answer is $$$Yes$$$ otherwise.

Hello, I'm wondering what does the round-trip time mean. It seems that the outward time and the round-trip time are time points meaning start time and finish time but not a duration (which I am still not sure), but the given information says that the round-trip time is the sum of the outward and return times which really confuses me.

    Or maybe what I missed is to construct the times to make the biggest number of fastest return awards

Actrually,I didn't understand problem A's statement even when I passed the problem.

I just guessed what it may wish me to do.
