We shouldn't discuss problems until the end of the contest, but I will forget about it then, so fuck it.

WTF

What is wrong with its input format? Why don't we just have 10 independent tests of size 50, and only $$$A_{i} \cdot t_{i}$$$ in input? Why should we read $$$10^{6}$$$ numbers 90% of which are zeroes and only few thousands have meaning?

I didnt get the solution so it didn't help me and no action seems to have been taken against it :/

    Read the post carefully. That is a completely different problem than XORMIN. It is asking about maximum XOR in the path from root to a node, not in the subtree of a node. And why should you even expect someone to take any action against it, when in fact, that is a problem from a past round of CodeChef itself: MAY17 — GPD

      Oops! My bad — guess that explains why the 'solution' there didn't help me : )

        That is because you tried to follow the solution blindly without even understanding the problem. Or else who on earth would assume those two were the same problem.
