      Usually I get to participate in 11:35PM (UTC+9)

      The good thing is that one participation can count as two days of streak, if I solve at least 1 problem both before and after midnight

After the last round, I think I have a chance to get into Div. 1. But since the ratings haven't been updated yet, I can't register for Div. 1. Only an hour and a half left, do I just sit tight and wait? What happens if I register for Div. 2 now and then get promoted right before the contest starts?

    I wasn't able to solve D, But I think the solution is like in this direction. 1) If any elements occur odd times then the answer is simply -1. 2) We will choose the first segment where ar[end]=ar[start], initially start=0, We can this make segment good(or whatever they say) by doing at most segmentLength-2 operation. these operations may add extra segmentLength-2 elements, but we can handle these elements in the next segment. I think we need to repeat this step till we have no remaining elements.

      Correct. The most important realization is that the extra added elements will ALWAYS be possible to pair them in later iterations.

        I think it's easy to prove that the extra elements+ rest of the array will not contain any odd element and hence we can make the remaining segment good also.

        Wow! I was thinking in the wrong direction probably: I thought of making array such that a2i-1 = a2i, for this we can swap elements until it matches with the same number.
        Swapping can be done as follows:
        Let's say we have to swap x and y in the sequence, then [x,y] -> [x,y,x,x] -> [x,y,x,y,y,x]. If you observe carefully first 4 numbers sequence is good (tandem repeat), and we are left with [y,x].
        Maybe some more thinking/observations need to be done in this method. Has anyone solved D using the same/similar idea?

      You can also "reverse" a segment. For example going from abcd -> abcdabcddcba. The junk part added is a valid subsegment. So just sort the array using this

    The answer would always be 0 if no side is parallel to the x axis. If a side is parallel to x axis , and the third point of the triangle that doesn't lie on that side is BELOW the parallel side , the answer would be the length of that side parallel to x axis.

          In order to stop them from affecting your rating, so if hundreds of new un-trusted accounts made by div1 users took part in the contest and solved more problems than you, they won't affect your rating.. they will get rating changes but they won't be part of rating changes calculation for the rest of the participants. (you will get better rating)

          that's what i understood. If someone thinks that I'm wrong, correct me please.

Why is time limit for D1D so tight? My solution is $$$O(n2^m)$$$ but it runs for 1500ms even after optimizations, but some people's $$$O(n^2/w)$$$ solution runs under 500ms.

Another fun fact: I gave a problem using exactly the same idea as E in a Chinese OJ contest in Feburary 18th. However I lacked time so I didn't pass E :(

A and B weren't too interesting. I don't think A should be in div1 contest, B was not bad though.

C was similar to APIO 2012 Guard but not too much, I liked it. I wasted lots of time trying to find the similar problem tho :(.

D reminds me of USACO 2018 Cowpatibility, but I haven't thought much about it yet, solution is definitely very different.

Why are the TLs so tight? I wrote a $$$\mathcal{O}(n \log^2 n)$$$ parallel binary search solution to problem C, and it TLE'd. Had to use Van Embe Boas tree instead (147441626) to pass >_>

In problem B, at first I use vector to insert two integers, then I got TLE on 4. After I replaced vector by an array, I passed. Why can't you just enlarge the Time Limit so that those who use vector instead of array could pass?

The huge pictures in 2A slow down the loading of the page. The coordinates and sizes of the example triangles are not that large and there are extra space that could have been cropped out.

I'm almost certain this is unintended but I have a $$$O(\frac{N^2}{64}+N\sqrt{N})$$$ solution to d1D that passes pretests in under 500ms.

We just sort the arrays by $$$w$$$ then for each element, we just store a bitset of which arrays are incompatible with it.

Of course, storing $$$nm$$$ bitsets is too much memory, so let's only store it for elements which occur more than $$$\sqrt{N}$$$ times. So we need to add another $$$N\sqrt{N}$$$ to complexity to handle elements that occur small number of times, but it's fast.

I think Div.1 B shouldn't put at this place. It should be dressed with more confusing skins, added more strange limits, made impossible to code, and placed at Div.1 F. It is a great idea of mass destruction, Div.1 B is a waste of such a great idea.

This round is typically speedforces with weak pretests. (Div 2A is confusing and makes a lot of people quit, that's why so few contestants in div2)

When the difficulty gap between two problems are very large (like C and D in div2), then the ranking of contestant will depend on the speed that solve these easy problems. If you get stuck on one "easy" problem for a long time or make wrong submission, or failed the system test (the pretest of problem div2C is so weak), and you cannot solve hard problem, you will be finished.

Personally I don't like this kind of contest.

I solve Div1D with such a randomize:

for every element x we determine f(x) as a random number in 0...19

then for every i=1...n we will compute mask of the f of elements in the a_i

mask[i]=or(1<<f(x),x in a[i])

then we solve problem (find two non-intersected masks with minimal sum of weights) with subset DP

we repeat it 35 times,and take minimal of the answers

              uh

              when you process mp[val]-=mn; when val=it.ff*x, it will change the elements in mp, which hasn't been traverse currently

              and this may cause the order of the map changed(you know, the elements in the map are sorted from small to big), and that will cause something wrong?

              Just my guess, I am not sure

                Modifying values in a map while iterating over it is ok. Even inserting new keys is ok, insertion doesn't invalidate any iterators.

              If val is not in mp, if (mp[val]) will add it to the map with value 0. So if ll could store huge values, the loop would never terminate, and in practice it can take a very long time.

Hi there. I don't know where to ask general questions about solutions so I post them here. Pls tell me if it's a wrong place.

For both B & C I passed all the pretest cases, and failed with TLEs in the system tests. The original compiler I was using in the competition was C++17. After the competition I submitted the exactly same solutions with another compiler (C++14) and both of them passed all the tests.

Spoiler

It's my first time to encounter such a situation. It'd be very helpful if someone could tell me some general ideas to cope with this, like which compiler I shall choose by default during the contest. Since the pretests are all passed, it seemed impossible to see the difference during the contest.

Thanks in advance!

    If an unordered_map fails with TLE it is most likely that there is some test with special numbers, so that the unordered_map degenerated to O(n) instead of O(logn) behaviour.

    This is well known, and the short solution is to just not use unordered_map, else use your own hashing functions.

      unordered_map degenerates straight to O(N) per query. I also should say, that tests are incredibly weak. For C, there was no simple 200000 2 all 1s test, and everyone, who used multiset::count, passed on systests(!!), when they shouldn't have.

    q * log(n)^2 solution:
    Maintain set of positions P that can be ill. For x = 0 queries you need to erase positions from P from l to r. If pos is not in set P answer is NO, otherwise answer is YES if there is some segment [l, r] with x = 1 with L < l <= pos <= r < R (L is maximal position < pos in P, R is minimal position > pos in P). You can solve this with maintaining set in segment tree vertices.

    You can just maintain a set of non intersecting segment of guaranteed 0, and set of segments with value 1 but without one segment entirly containing anouther, then to check if there is 1 in given position we can check if ther is a segement containing 1 and this point is the only non-zero one

seq.clear(), del.clear();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
	long long a;
	scanf("%lld", &a);
	seq.insert(a);
}

for (multiset<long long>::iterator i = seq.begin(); i != seq.end(); i++) if (vis(*i)) {
	if (vis(*i * x)) {
		del.insert(*i);
		del.insert(*i * x);
	}
}
printf("%d\n", seq.size() - del.size());

    multiset::count(x) works in $$$O(log(n) + cnt(x))$$$, where $$$n$$$ is the multiset size and $$$cnt(x)$$$ is total number of occurrences of x in the multiset. Therefore, it could be very slow (if there are multiple occurrences of x and you search it many times). You should use map<value, count> or something else to pass.

      Sorry to ask. But can u tell why my code passes with multiset count. Or are the tests just weak?

        It seems astounding. Looks like the compiler optimizes if (multiset.count(x) to if (multiset.find(x) != multiset.end()).

        I resubmitted your code with slight changes (if (s.count(d*x)) -> int count = s.count(d*x); if (count > 0)) and TLEd.

          Any guesses on why the compiler optimises in this case? In a previous contests I have a submission that TLEs with multiset.count but gets AC with multiset.find() (I think there are many more examples though)

          We did a bit more digging into this. if(std::distance(s.lower_bound(d*x), s.upper_bound(d*x))) is the underlying operation that is magically optimized 147514900. It seems like it is optimized to if(s.lower_bound(d*x) != s.upper_bound(d*x))

          I resubmitted your code with slight changes (if (s.count(d*x)) -> int count = s.count(d*x); if (count > 0)) and TLEd.

          Casting to int makes it TLE 147515554, but casting to long long makes it AC 147515787. So that TLE happens just because casting 64 bit unsigned to 32 bit signed messes with the boolean optimization.

            How do you control those optimisations? I have tried with multisets and counts locally with custom data and didn't get any optimisation. My code (with multiset count) took a long time. Way longer than the one with just find. See https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/100208?#comment-889480

              Dug a bit more it seems like the part which turns off compiler optimisations is -fsanitize=address. This is my full build command that was getting executed g++ --std=c++17 -Wall -fstack-protector-all -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -O2 great_sequence2.cpp -o C2

              Though it seems a bit dangerous to use count with multiset. I am certainly never using it again for finding values.

      multiset::count(x) works in $$$O(log(n)+cnt(x))$$$??? Wtf??? I also got miraculously saved by compiler optimization, would never expect such counterintuitive inefficiency

I'll admit it's quite careless of me not to realize C could overflow but one still would expect the pretests to have a case for that...

It's interesting for me to read that many people solved Div1D in $$$O(n 2^m \log)$$$ as both me and my friends found a solution with seemingly different complexities.

I choose a number $$$C$$$ (probably sth between 10 and 20 depending on the implementation) and randomly map each number to sth from the interval [0, C). If two sets of size m are disjoint then there is a positive probability that they will be mapped to disjoint sets as well (and if they are not disjoint, then they will be mapped to non-disjoint sets too). That prob is sth like $$$ \ge (\frac{C-m}{C})^m$$$, so if we repeat that, say, $$$8(\frac{C}{C-m})^m$$$ times then we have a good success probability. If all our numbers are from interval [0, C) then we can easily solve our problem in either $$$O(4^C)$$$ or $$$O(3^C)$$$ or $$$O(2^C \cdot C)$$$ time, what gives $$$O(8(\frac{C}{C-m})^m (n + 2^C \cdot C))$$$ solution. $$$C=2m$$$ kinda gives quite similar complexity, but setting C to 20 instead of 10 gives rather a better one.

      You think of each set as a bitmask, there are only $$$2^C$$$ of them. For each mask you store the cheapest row that corresponded to it. By bruteforcing all pairs you get $$$O(4^C)$$$. However there are only $$$3^C$$$ pairs of masks that are disjoint and you are only interested in these and you can get such complexity by cleverly iterating through them. For $$$2^C \cdot C$$$ you compute a simple dp of form dp[x] = cheapest mask that is a submask of x in $$$2^C \cdot C$$$ and then if you have a mask $$$x$$$ you check it with $$$dp[(1 < < C)-1-x]$$$ (i.e. cheapest mask that is a submask of the complement of x).

      Apparently some complained about the image for problem A(it took a long time to load ); the difficulty gap between C and D, which lead to a fastforces for those who didn't solve D; and finally the order of difficulty of problems (many thought C<B<A)

    Different verdicts on main tests and pretests do be quite annoying, but you see, passing pretests does not always indicate that your solutions are absolutely correct. One may pay attention to details and boundary conditions and code more precisely, so that your program is strong enough and able to get rid of sticky FSTs.

147428133 This is my submission from yesterday's educational round, here I have used unordered sets and it gave TLE on test case 6 but if I used a set in place of unordered it gets accepted. But since only insertion is executed how can it give TLE as far as I know, unordered sets have O(1) complexity while set uses O(log N) complexity.
