We visited Innopolis on a tour during IOI. The University is built standing alone in the middle of the countryside, a long bus ride away from any other major city. The presentations were a little difficult due to the language barrier, but I could definitely appreciate what went into developing the place, since it is so far away from civilisation. I think the University will pursue a successful future in attracting bright minds — although not quite yet.

    We appreciate your feedback.

    Innopolis is the youngest city in Russia and we are on the way to become the IT center. The infrastructure of the city is rapidly developing and we are sure that you'll be impressed by the progress in the nearest future. Also, Innopolis is only 40 kilometers away from Kazan and 70 kilometers from Kazan International airport.

    We'll be happy to see you in Innopolis again and show you the city :)

    Here's my solution: http://ideone.com/rsE5sO Basic explanation: Count those i indexes that for everyone of them there's an index j, such that ai ≤ ai + 1 ≤ ... ≤ aj, and ai < aj.

    Sqrt decomposition. Handle the numbers with Bi > bucket normally and others by keeping a hash map on modulo value. Just use slightly smaller buckets than sqrt(T) and it should be enough to pass.

    Solution from Marik

    Let pref[i] be the maximum volume of liquid that we can get by doing some opreations on prefix i, the same for suf[i], but here we calculate maximum volume that we can get on suffix i.

    Therefore,

    pref[i] = v[i] + min(pref[i — 1], l[i])

    suf[i] = v[i] + min(suf[i + 1], r[i])

    Then iterate i from 1 to n and calculate this value:

    ans = max(ans, suf[i] + pref[i] — v[i]).
