Codeforces Round #752
By YouKn0wWho, 19 months ago, In English

UPD: (28 April, 2022)

Donated Finally

আবার চলে এসেছি! (That's Bengali for "I am back! (in Terminator mode)")

I am super excited to invite you to participate in Codeforces Round 752 (Div. 1) and Codeforces Round 752 (Div. 2) which will be held on Oct/30/2021 17:35 (Moscow time). This round is rated for both divisions.

You will be given $$$6$$$ problems in each division and $$$2$$$ hours to solve them. All the problems are authored and prepared by me.

I would like to thank -

The statements are short and directly ask you what to do and I have tried to make the pretests strong. I highly encourage you to read all the problems.

Solve problems and help the poor! Yes, you heard it right, this time you can help the world by just solving problems. I will donate money based on the solve count of each problem by the following measure:

Donation Per AC

The total estimated money is half of what I will get from Codeforces for this contest(but you can make it more by just solving more problems!). I am a student, so pardon me if that's too little.

Also, did you know that you can still upvote my The Ultimate Topic List blog and make it to the top?

Finally, I would like to dedicate this contest to me! I want to thank me for believing in me, for doing all this hard work, for trying to do more right than wrong. I want to thank me for just being me at all times.

Score distribution:
Div.1: $$$750-1000-1750-2500- 3500-3750$$$.
Div.2: $$$500-1000-1750-2000-2750-3500$$$.

Good Luck! Love you blobheart.

UPD: Editorial

UPD: Congratulations to the winners.

Div.1:

  1. tourist
  2. djq_cpp
  3. Petr
  4. DmitryGrigorev
  5. ecnerwala

Div.2:

  1. Rolling_Code
  2. Pecans
  3. fangzhijina2020
  4. whtdsjmr
  5. Graphcities

UPD: Here is how the donation amount looks like:

Donation

FYI I will get 400 USD for this contest. So the donation amount is indeed half of this as I have estimated before the contest, although didn't think that it would be this accurate.

I will update you again when I get the money from Codeforces, more likely after a few months as I haven't received my previous contest's payment yet which happened 3 months ago!

Also, thanks for being a part of this. You have just helped someone who is in need (I mean after I distribute the money).

So if I participate from Div1 and solve all problems, you donate 6.255 USD, that's nice. But that's too tough, I'll just donate 7 USD myself instead.

    I don't have any say over whether it will be in pretests, YouKn0wWho just asked "Is there a test case that accomplishes [REDACTED]?" and I responded with a test case that does.

          But I don't think this can be the reason to downvote a comment.

          I think whether to downvote a comment depends to itself but not depends to the author.

        To add to this, a little bit more explanation on how I personally came up with $$$y-(y\mod x)/2$$$:

        Suppose $$$x\leq y$$$. We want to find a $$$n$$$ such that there exists integers $$$k,l,b$$$ that satisfy $$$n=kx+b$$$ and $$$y=ln+b$$$ (and $$$b<x,b<n$$$).
        We can see that any valid $$$n$$$ has to satisfy $$$x\leq n\leq y$$$ (*), so $$$k,l\geq 1$$$.
        Expanding $$$y=ln+b$$$, we get $$$y=(lk)x+(l+1)b$$$. This means $$$(l+1)b=y\mod x+ax$$$ for some integer $$$a$$$.

        To construct a valid solution from here, note that since $$$x,y$$$ are both even, we can set $$$a=0$$$ and $$$l=1$$$ (since RHS is also even). This gives in a valid $$$b$$$ and $$$n$$$, which is exactly $$$n=y-(y\mod x)/2$$$.

        (*) To elaborate on why $$$x\leq n\leq y$$$: If $$$n<x$$$, $$$n\mod x=n$$$ but $$$y\mod n$$$ can't be $$$n$$$. If $$$n>y$$$, $$$y\mod n=y\geq x$$$ so it can't be $$$n\mod x$$$.

      you can iterate over array and count number of items that mod(i+1)!=0
      moreover at each step you should include items that mod(i+1-1..current_count)!=0
      if at some step you found items that mod(i+1-1..current_count)==0 then answer is NO otherwise YES

    the problem is saying check if at least one number from 2 to i+1 isnt a divisor of a[i]. Its enough to check from 2 to min(i+1, 40) cuz lcm of 1...40(or so) is too big for a[i] to fit

    This is so because for the current number, if any number before it cannot be removed, ans is No. Else, you can remove some numbers and check if current number is divisible by i+1-count of previous numbers removed which results in the range 2 to i+1(notice removing numbers after current one does not affect the position so its pointless for current number)

    if y < x then u can choose any n larger the y so that n % x = y holds

    otherwise if y >= x and suppose y % x = z, then if you find the highest multiple of x which is smaller then y and add z/2 to it, n will become evenly match for both numbers meaning n % x will equal to y % n.

        In my case the difference is that after fixing the first number I put numbers from big to small, and therefore my state is what is the maximum allowed number, how many numbers we still need to put, and what is their maximum allowed sum.

        So I guess having "maximum allowed sum" when going from big to small has fewer reachable states that having "sum" when going from small to big.

Why is the time limit in D so tight??

I have a solution that runs in around 3.4s locally, and is $$$\mathcal{O}(n \log^3 n)$$$ except for a $$$\mathcal{O}(n \sqrt n)$$$ part that takes just 0.5s. I'm sure I could make this pass if I optimised my segment tree more, but the problem shouldn't require that!

EDIT: optimised the segment tree to this special case, and now it passes (133687383). Here's a submission with my usual segment tree code (133688464).

Here is some feedback on the problems:

  • A. Di-visible Confusion: Easy problem, ok.
  • B. Moderate Modular Mode: In general I don't like problems where there is 0 computer science involved, though I must admit that the statement of this one is nice. Moreover, the solution is very clean. Cool problem.
  • C. Extreme Extension: The statement is clean and interesting, but the "greedy" part is easy and the "only few states n/k" is standard. Nice statement, standard solution.
  • D. Artistic Partition: Here I have mixed feelings. The statement is absolutely "who cares". The fact that one may assume $$$k\le 20$$$ is cute. Computing the number of coprime pairs is very standard but always annoying for me. My solution is a DP with all the $$$n\cdot k$$$ states, which is optimized via the divide and conquer technique (likely different from the official solution). It was nontrivial to implement and I enjoyed thinking about how to optimize stuff so that it could get AC. Finally, submitting one minute before the end, I felt the adrenaline rush, which is priceless.

Overall, the contest was very well-prepared and it gave me some strong emotions, so thanks to the authors. The difficulty distribution was perfect. I am eager to read the editorial to find out how to solve D properly.

    Can you elaborate on the time complexity of your D? Editorial also mentions D&C and states that its actually $$$O(n \log^2 n)$$$, which I'm a bit concerned about (more like $$$O(n \log n \sqrt n)$$$).

      The cost of an interval $$$[l, r]$$$ is given by ($$$q(x)$$$ is a function we have precomputed, namely the number of coprime pairs $$$1 \le a \le b\le x$$$)

      $$$ c(l, r) := q\big(\frac rr\big) + q\big(\frac r{r-1}\big) + \cdots + q\big(\frac rl\big) .$$$

      I think that your doubt on the complexity comes from the fact that computing $$$c(l, r)$$$ may require $$$O(\sqrt{n})$$$ operations (if this is not the issue, please clarify why you think that the complexity might be $$$O(n\log n\sqrt n)$$$.

      The trick is that, with some precomputation, we can compute $$$c(l, r)$$$ in $$$O(1)$$$. We precompute, for every $$$r$$$, the values $$$c(r/k, r)$$$; this can be done in $$$O(n\sqrt n)$$$. Then, we have

      $$$ c(l, r) = (m-l)q\big(\frac rl\big) + c(m, r) , $$$

      where $$$m$$$ is the smallest number such that $$$\lfloor \frac{r}{m}\rfloor > \lfloor \frac rl \rfloor$$$ (it can be found in $$$O(1)$$$).

      Since the cost function can be computed in $$$O(1)$$$, and we are executing the D&C dp optimization $$$\log(n)$$$ times, the total complexity is $$$O(n\log^2(n))$$$ (plus $$$O(n\sqrt n)$$$ precomputation).

        Sorry for confusion, I didn't read the editorial, which apparently has the same solution as yours.

        You understood me correctly, the end of editorial mentions solution that uses $$$O(\sqrt n)$$$ per one query. It's now edited, stating that in practice it fits in TL but no proofs provided on the complexity (I think it's still $$$O(n \sqrt n \log n)$$$).

        Btw, I've used this technique like 2 times in recent days, but wasn't able to apply it here, what a shame...

      For x < y, lets take K for which, K*x < y < (K+1)*x.

      The N for this case will be , (K*x + y)/2.

      N = K*x + (y — K*x)/2

      N % x => (y — K*x)/2

      y % N will be y — N (Since 2*N > y)

      y % N => (y — K*x)/2

    if x < y, then suppose y % x = z, then if we find the highest multiple of x which is smaller then y and add z/2 to it.. then n % x = z/2 and y % n = z/2, cz they both are even numbers and I can find a midpoint where both numbers multiples distance is same.

Unpopular opinion: Div2 was only observation and math, no programming. Boring experience.

    Sure, but isn't 'observation' key to 'problem solving' which is pretty much what competitive programming is. A keen observer is usually also a shrewd problem solver.

      No, but I expected more data structures, algorithm concepts such as binary search.

      Implicitly, in your argument, you assume that observation means math (or that, observational problems are inherently mathematical problems). I don't think that's true. Sometimes just observations can come from realizing that one needs a certain data structure, like recognizing the application of segment within a particular context.

      I agree that observation is key to problem-solving, but I don't think this justifies having such a mathematically heavy contest.

    You don't read the complete input before printing the output for a test case. Then when you'd try to read the next test, you'd first receive the input left from the previous one.

    You don't need to check for all the n elements, just for the first 21 elements.

My personal feeling — E is much, much easier than D. For me E is a pretty standard task like "you have an obvious DP with huge complexity, optimize it with some observations and harmonic series principle". D's idea is obvious to me too, but implementation and some specific details make it harder for me.

Despite my feelings of losing rating and my contribution throne, the problems div1ABC are pretty nice. If I have a suggestion for improvement, it's to have more topic balance. I thought there is too much number theory. (As much as integer division and remainder can be called number theory)

Silly thing happened to me today, I forgot to save file after removing cerr line and submitted the unsaved file. It passed pretests but TLEd on actual tests. Is there any way to use fast output with cerr?

P.S. use clog instead of cerr

    Brute force works here because it is not really O(n^2), because actually most numbers can be removed in most positions. So a linear search for such a position does not take n steps but at most aprox 20, and on average about two or three. submission

Dear programmers, can you help me? Recently, for fun, I created a team of friends at Codeforces. After the contest, Codeforces sent me an email saying that my solutions are very similar to the solutions of alex_2008, which is in our team. The fact is that I am also alex_2008. And there in the letter it was said that for repeated violations of the rules, they would block my account. Can you tell me what to do?

I participated in the round yesterday. I received a mail after the contest that my solution for DiV2 Problem B coincided significantly with two more solutions(My solution -world_classic/133631831 133631831 others solution-keetzo/133671951 133671951 , kaypee284/133672077 133672077) . As the question had a straightforward solution and the other users coincidently may have the same templates as mine so it may have coincided by chance. I request MikeMirzayanov and the team to look into the matter...

So I promised that I would donate a certain amount of money based on the number of ACs that each problem gets. The idea was to motivate people to solve problems and at the same time help out real people by just having green verdicts.

The amount turned out to be around 200 USD (I have received 400 USD in total for that contest).

So following that event, today I have distributed Iftar platters (Ramadan Meal) of the same amount among 120 rickshaw pullers and poor people in general. Thanks to Toushiful Ferdous Badhan and Rakib Hasan for helping me out.

Posting here to let you guys know that, hey, your green verdicts helped someone to have a green moment. Also, you solved a div2A problem but that way you just helped someone solve a real div1F problem which is Food (may it be for one day).

We can’t change the world overnight but we can play our parts, may it be very little! I like the analogy of one of my friends which she calls "The Wave Analogy". The particles stay where they are, they just dance and in consequence, a big wave is formed!
