      Wow. I thought it'd be too much. Thanks, got AC. Now I can see that it could be done with suffix array...

So many participants who solved B, but I have no single idea how to do it. Wouldn't someone explain it to me? Especially why we can put one file in 0 bits.

    In this problem, you need to check: Is it possible to file tags so that the length of the label was no longer a B and all the labels were different. That is, the answer is yes, if 2 ^ (b + 1) -1> = n

    Sorry for bad english. Google translate =)

    There are no official editorials but you can discuss about the problems here and share your approach. You can't see others solutions as they become visible only when you are able to solve that problem.

What is the idea behind Problem A ( Aspen Avenue ) ? I think it involves DP but how to represent DP state in this case.

Problem K's judge seems to be behaving randomly. Is there some undefined behavior in my code?

Submission 2: http://codeforces.com/gym/100494/submission/8183446

Can someone figure this out?

    You're using scanf and streams to input data.

      That's just one version. I tried multiple combinations. Plus, I think they can be used together.

I found the official website for ncpc 2008, which has input/output and solutions sketches, and judge solutions. Every problem except the last two seems to be from ncpc 2008. The solution sketch is not too detailed, but I thought I'd share and I hope this helps.
