Does anyone have a $$$O(V^2)$$$ solution to this problem (available here)? The spoiler describes one but I don't understand what it means when it says to "search for this path backwards," and I can't find a model solution. (However, an $$$O(EV)$$$ solution with bitset did pass ...)

I don't have an easy solution, but the following paper provide (somewhat sophisticated) $$$O(V^2)$$$ solutions:

    There is a simplified document for the second paper. It also claims to run in $$$O(kE \log V)$$$. Shoutout to rpeng. Link
