Code Jam to I/O for Women 2021, problem "Introductions Organization" limits.

Revision en1, by naagi, 2021-04-19 12:23:06

Hi!

I've recently participated in Code Jam to I/O for Women 2021 (does this link work?) and found a bug in the third problem, "Introductions Organization". At least I think so.

Here is what statement says:

1≤M≤50.
1≤N≤50.
1≤P≤100.

Yet in test data (available to download in Analysis section) P exceeds 100 in some test cases (but doesn't exceed 1000).

I don't think it affected many contestants, I mean, who uses fixed-sized arrays in 2021? But I did, and my solution crashed. Changing that array size from 100 to 1000 gets the problem solved in practice mode.

The only way to ask a question I found was by writing an e-mail, I did so, only to get a "No comments" reply more then a day after ("Unfortunately we cannot provide help in solving problems, even after the contest is over, and that includes interpreting statements. I can assure you the problem is correct as written.")

Is there a bug? If it's really a bug, what can I do to get the problem rejudged?
