Jeopardized Election — a problem no team in Latin America was able to solve (ICPC 2018)

Revision en6, by pabloskimg, 2019-10-26 19:54:15

Hi, I'm trying to solve the problem Jeopardized Election. This was problem J in 2018 ICPC Latin America Regional Contest. No team in Latin America was able to solve it during the contest, check out the final scoreboard. I'm trying to figure out the solution but so far I can only think of the brute force approach, which is factorial and can't work. I've got a feeling that there must be a greedy strategy to solve it, but I'm not sure. It would be awesome if some of the genius minds here on Codeforces could shed some light on the solution.

Thank you very much!
