      Maybe because programming contests aren't school, so there are no grades? (So it's a completely off-topic/spam comment.)

      I think because he used "grades" instead of "ratings". Note that similar comment from the same person with correct word has been accepted AC.

          Consider the case when all participating users rank exactly according to their rating before the contest, and all participants were specialists initially. Then, since the participant has not been 'overtaken', his rating should not decrease.

          All constructive ideas, comments and clarifications are welcome.

        Well now i think it is because the probability of her hope being fulfilled is 0.000000000. Proving it is a good exercise of mathematical reasoning.

        Please think that whether you wish is theoretically possible. That comment is down voted mainly because it was intended towards just commenting.

          This is the second : tending to infinite loop in this page.

          I dont want that every user comes here and contribute like this.

          So, I hope this will break the flow :

          break;

          This comment does not wish any replies as then the brake will fail.

    Any new contestant by default belongs to Div2. If you do good, and your rating increases over 1700, then you will be promoted to Div1. The rest you will figure out once you start participating regularly.

        The editorial's up, and the solution's there. Key idea of the solution: if a set S has , adding p to it increases the result proportionally to p (so we want to add the largest p).

        You can look at Aksenov239 solution: 6923989, or mine 6923978 with classes and recursion. Both of them work quite fast.

        If you can't see this submissions, you can view it on pastebin: mine and by Aksenov239.

          I don't know exact shape of testcases, but solution described in editorial does something like "do something until something" which can be estimated by O(n log n), maybe maxtests where easy cases where your solution worked faster? My solution works offline and takes teta(n log n) time and I'm not using anything which can make constant to significantly grow like set or maps. My space complexity is also O(n log n), but that shouldn't be the case. Is there anything really stupid I'm doing, which was a reason I got TLE http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/442/submission/6917926 ?

          And one more question — what is the point of setting such big constraints? Will anybody get hurt if n<=10^5 instead of 10^6? I guess not.

            We have maxtests on which model solution works teta(n log n). Setting smaller limits always increases chances some solutions with wrong complexity pass.

            But I'm really sorry that I forgot to include a maxtest in pretests.

              Sometimes, it's impossible to make sure just all solutions with good complexity pass. As was clearly the case here...

              Lol, that's pretty rude :P. I guess this is my award for whining about TLs while I should be grateful for preparing contest, but you know, receiving TLE in solution with optimal complexity (especially those without any complicated data structures) is always frustrating :P

        I got TLE because I stupidly used heap to maintain 2 maximals and use cout to output.

        I think the TL is fine, but it would be better to add maximal test case in pretest so we will know the code is not optimal enough.

      Hm, I got AC after changing vectors to arrays (and 1e6 to 1e6 + 5 :P). I guess what's taking most of the time is doing n resizes to 23 and 23n resizes to 2 :P. I was also really close to exceeding memory limit (230 out of 256MB). Allocating that amount of memory is slower than I wanted it to be.

I feel that to give credit to the right technique for problem B (div1), the constraints should've been such that n <  = 105

P.S.: After sorting the array of probablities, I just used a naive test-all-subarrays algorithm which passed.

      "Your O(N2) Solution couldn't pass N  = 105 ;)"

      -- This is precisely why I said that the constraints should be increased. I did not find the O(N) technique and was still able to solve it.

    Printf expects double, you pass int. It's because of the compiler.

      Thanks, I had always though that double and long double were identical in GNU C++!. I find rather surprising the huge difference between the result in one case and in another. Well next time I'll use long double if I can remember it!

        You're welcome.

        But have you got any clue to why the output is like that when using "double"?

        And the more weird thing is this. I don't think it's a mere precision problem (not sure): http://ideone.com/31XMxJ

        Anyway, I haven't looked carefully at it yet. Will probably do that on Sat. isA.

        And something that may help explain the reason but haven't tried before is checking the assembly code outputted from the compiler. But of course, don't forget to use the same compiler & compiler flags as theirs. (Sorry if it's a noob note, I'm a little nooby so I assume everyone is like me :D)

          More or less I have finally found it. It has something to do with he -O2 flag it seems to handle some comparisons in a different way, I suspect that it doesn't save mx to memory so it uses a value with more precision (long double?), which is lost whne saving to memory. The question is that the order in the priority queue is changed. But now for equal values of the first parameter the queue gives the result in reverse order which is wrong.

          Possibly in your ideone output, when printing the output mx is saved into memory and that affects i's precision. (Well is an hypothesis)

          So it is a bug in my code. That's good I don't want to lose my faith in GCC !! :-)

I have some understanding problem about div1 D. About the 2 conditions, what I think are:

  1. All the colors of edges connected with the same vertex does not show up more than twice.
  2. If vertex i has an edge colored C, vertex j!=i has an edge colored the same C, then the path between i and j are all colored C.

Am I understand the 2 conditions right? And how does these 2 conditions affect the problem ? Thanks.
