    Good problems, I liked E and F, although they are somewhat heavy on the implementation side.

    By the way, /* shameless plug */ I recorded a screencast with explanations today, maybe it will help someone understand the solutions better: link

Shit, got AC for D a minute after contest ended

AGC reminds me how stupid I am.
ABC reminds me how bad I am at trivial implementations.

Very decent problems. Enjoyed an ABC after a long time. Kudos to the author.

    It's deterministic actually, and you don't you have to select 20 random elements multiple times, Taking first min(n,8) elements will work

      Ah okay! Makes sense to me now.

      Yep, simple pigeonhole principle ($$$2^8 > 200$$$)

      Sorry for noob question. Could you explain why take first min(n,8) elements work

        There are $$$2^8 - 1 = 255$$$ nonempty subsequences, but only $$$200$$$ possible remainders modulo $$$200$$$, hence two sequences will give the same remainder.

Failing on two testcases for problem D-

Any suggestions please?

    In some test cases, you might be printing an empty array.

Using FFT on E caused TLE I don't know why? I tried changing long double to double but that caused precision errors. It would be so nice if somebody can help.

Prob D: Here is my 2D knapsack solution. Then I retrieve 2 solutions from the dp States I calculated. Here is the link: https://atcoder.jp/contests/abc200/submissions/22426134

Later realised it was an overkill.

    Maybe a long code, but you could have avoided that by using a bitmask that has the $$$i$$$-th bit on if the $$$i$$$-th set is valid (has at least one element), and that way it would be easier to recover the sequences.

    I did that here

D — I still didn't get where the 8 came from?? I mean we can still choose some more than 8 numbers to get both the sums % 200 same.

Can someone please help me with this?

    for any sequence(not empty), we can map sequence to 0...199 by their sum mod 200. so if there are more than 200 distinct sequences, there must be 2 sequences whose sum are equal. with 8 elements, therr are 255 sequences, which is more than 200 and 8 is the first number with more than 200 sequences. 7 has 127
