    Do you know why your comment was downvoted? Probably not. Actually, the same comment can be upvoted in a different time/place.

    A possible reason is that some random person just randomly downvoted your comment and then some other insane users just continue downvoting without thinking. Toxic, crazy, but this is the reality here.

A simple solution to problem E:

The solution for height = 1 is trivial. I'll discuss about a similar solution for height = 2.

Step 1 : Solve the trivial problem for the rectangle covers both rows only.

Step 2 : Let's detach the rectangles we chose in step 1 into 2 rectangles in the first and second row.

Step 3 : Solve the trivial problem for each rows.

Step 4 : Merge the rectangle in step 2.

Caution: for the rectangles created in step 2, you can only remove or keep them without shrinking.

Why are there so few upvotes on this blog?

I would recommend replacing "Source" with "(Source) Code", at first glance I thought it was the inspiration or the source of the problem :D

what is the fast factorization method in in problem D.

    Check all numbers n where n*n<=p and n>=1 where p is the number you want to factor. The factors will always be when p%n==0 and the factors themselves will be n and p/n. This works because when we check all numbers less than or equal to sqrt of p, the following pair(p/n) will get all the numbers greater than or equal to sqrt of p.

      This is the general factorization I thought there is faster factorization method possible for this. By the way how to optimize the second part of the problem.

$$$E$$$ has some pretty weak tests. My $$$O(n^2 \log n)$$$ solution passed in $$$<1$$$ second. Can more testcases be added?
