Hello again, Codeforces!

I'd like to invite you to Codeforces Round #452 (Div. 2). It'll be held on Sunday, December 17 at 09:35 MSK and as usual Div. 1 participants can join out of competition. Note that round starts in the unusual time!

The round is rated.

This round is held on the tasks of the second day of the municipal stage All-Russian Olympiad of Informatics 2017/2018 year in city Saratov. They were prepared by Olympiad center of programmers of Saratov SU. A convincing request to the participants of the municipal stage in Saratov to do not participate in this contest.

Great thanks to Nikolay Kalinin (KAN) and Grigory Reznikov (vintage_Vlad_Makeev) for helping me preparing the contest, to Mike Mirzayanov (MikeMirzayanov) for the great Codeforces and Polygon platform and to Alexey Ripinen (Perforator) for writing solutions.

You will be given six problems and two hours to solve them. The scoring distribution will be published soon. Good luck everyone!

UPD The scoring distribution 500-1000-1500-1750-2250-2500

UPD: The system testing is starting now, but upsolving, virtual participation and viewing solutions and tests will be disabled till the end of the olympiad in Saratov (around 2-3 hours from now). Hope for your understanding. Editorial will be posted after the olympiad as well.

UPD Congratulations to the winners!

This round is the based on problems from the same contest as today's contest. Does this mean the round, Div 2 in particular, will be of similar difficulty to today's round? It was a great round (personally anyway), don't get me wrong, but it was definitely easier than normal.

For E, though I was not able to submit because of too much code writing but my idea involved range min query and lazy propagation.

        Hi. Well basically what I do is simulate the array using a set. For that I store a pair of integers. First frequency and second what position of the array it is. Since set has data stored by minimum, I store The first value as negative. Also I have an extra map for helping me in the merge. While there is something in the array ( the set ) I erase the first value of the set, cause it is the next range that has to be erased. When I remove an element I search the left and right element with lowerbound in the map. And if left and right has same value I merge them. So I have to remove from the set the left and the Right. And add the new pair I just merged. And update the map. And that's all. Hope it helps

    I just got my solution for problem C accepted with only linear loops (O(N) time complexity), but my approach looked pretty weird I think. I did think of modulo 4 but I didn't write code that way. Can anyone suggest or show me proof of correctness? http://codeforces.com/contest/899/submission/33346265

    Get the sum of the first M elements. Get the absolute difference of it and the sum of the rest. M does not exceed N/2.

    Get the sum of the last M elements. Get the absolute difference of it and the sum of the rest. M does not exceed N/2.

    Get the sum of the middle M elements. Get the absolute difference of it and the sum of the rest. M = {N/2 - 1, N/2, N/2 + 1}.

    I wrote a little code brute-forcing all the cases and notice that with some N there exist solutions where the middle elements are chosen, and with some other N there exist solutions where the first (or last) elements are chosen.

      If N < 5 then all pairs making up sum ending with no 9 are counted. Refer to Enigma27's comment. Right at 5 the answer will be 1 since there exists one pair (4, 5) making up the sum 9 having one trailing 9. You can hardcode the case N < 5.

How to solve C without knapsack?

My approach: if n=2, just like pretest. else:

1.Put n in set 1 and n-1 in set 2.

2.For each other element (n-2,n-3,...,1), just check (in descendig order) if it's better that the element goes to set 1 or 2.

How to prove that always works?

    I solved it using a simple approach.
    find the sum of integer from 1 to N.
    if sum is even number then answer will be 0 otherwise 1.
    in both the cases method of finding the numbers are same,do the half of the sum of 1 to N and store it in a variable called SUM.
    then start from (i=N ; i>=1 ; i--) and do this if (SUM — i >= 0) then subtract i from SUM and push_back i into you answer.
    you will get your answer vector.

        I wrote down some test cases on copy and checked it manually...
        you can think like this if you are subtracting a number from SUM and then your SUM becomes less than zero it means that you need to subtract a number which should be smaller than current number and i am going from N to 1 so it is sure that i will get that number.

      First of all, it's not Birjik even though we do share same template code.

      Secondly, my real username is banned from CF (due to I cheated once a few years ago) and I gave you my sincerest apologies for that (several times), and asked to be unbanned in my real account.

      After several attempts, I even changed my PC and could somehow login and was eligible to participate in contests from my original account, but some times later, I couldn't even login into my account. After 5 mins of logging in, the site takes me out and I have to login again. Moreover, in most of the times I can't even register to the competition (due to my account was banned).

      I already noticed organizers about that issue. Didn't receive any reply. Okay.

      Well, so I decided to create my new account since I can't normally participate in competitions from my original account and this decision was made by me not because I do wanna cheat, I just don't have any options.

    Leap years are ones with 29 days in February not 28.

        Look at all the people who failed problem B. They all did same mistake as you. It's because of the problem statement, January, 28 or 29 days in February (depending on whether the year is leap or not) , which gives an idea that correspondly leap has 28 days and not leap has 29 days.

Hello, I found a very weird bug in my code for problem E. It works fine for many test cases except for the case when n = 2 and the 2 numbers are distinct. I checked on my local machine and it gives the error.

*** Error in `./a.out': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00005613cbdd2788 ***

Checking on gdb, I find that the pointer majt remains the same as mait, even though I'm doing majt--; which should make it ma.end() if we are removing the first number (Note that this works for other test cases, i.e. n!=2, even for n=1). I'm unable to figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Code ID: 33351982

Why are submissions not being judged?? I submitted 4 hours ago and it still writes "in queue" as status. :/

    You are erasing from set at the same time you are iterating over it. So when you delete an element the inner structure changes. You should create a temporal set and erase from it

    Because you, czr, used fresh account to take part. It's ugly, unethical, disrespectful to me and the community.

      Oh, you're really ugly, unethical, disrespectful to me and the community. As far as I'm concerned,you,it's your third fresh account! You should be banned by MikeMirzayanov in no time. And I can't imagine a more ugly and unethical behaviour than using a fresh account to point out that I used a fresh account!

      What's more,I do not use a fresh account and it's the first time I participated in a CF Contest!
