For problem E, Do you know why it's correct to just ignore the '?' characters? My teammates passed this way which makes me feel weird.

    If you remove the longest correctly parenthesised subsequence, the remaining string will look like ))...)((...(. You can replace all '?' which are before the first remaining '(' by ')', and others by '('.

I think there is a typo in the editorial of B, line :

$$$end[d] = max(0, max(end[2d], end[2d+1]) + MAX(S))$$$

should be

$$$end[d] = max(0, max(end[2d], end[2d+1])) + MAX(S)$$$

in the editorial of B,when the multiset at d is empty,just let end[d]=0 and update ans[d](it bother me for a while)
