Hello everyone,

I've been stumbling upon mentions of many great properties of programming in Julia lately and been thinking of starting with it.

I couldn't find any resource about using it for competitive programming. Would love hearing if anyone already have some experience with it, and what was his thoughts?

Also I find it very appealing to learn a new language using competitive programming and problem solution. I saw that it was added on at-coder, but will it also be possible to add it over here in Codeforces?

I had this test in my neuroscience laboratory, and we had all sort of brain tissue spread in front of us. Each one had multiple needles attached to it with numbers on them (marking places I needed to answer how they are called). So apparently the lab only had certain needles with certain numbers, and they tried really hard that every tissue will have consecutive numbers on them, but failed really hard...

My question is as follow: You get N needles with numbers on them (an array sized N of ints). the needles a given to you in a unordered way (they come in a box). You get Q brain tissue and each of them needs a certain number of needles on them (an array sized Q of ints).

Question number 1: What is the maximum number of brain tissue you can fill with needles with all consecutive numbers. (2,3,4,5 in a brain tissue with 4 needles needed). Question number 2: What is the maximum number of consecutive numbers you can get ( 2,3,5,6 in a brain tissue with 4 needles needed is 2 consecutive numbers — 3, 6).
