How this got hacked on tle https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2033/submission/287798279 ? Pretty sure this is O(N) only.

Most of them in top 10 of the official standings have cheated. No doubt about it. I feel useless doing contests now...

G can be solved with binary uplifting. For each v,k there are 2 way: travel from v to the lowest leaf in the subtree at v; or move up k0 <= k ancestors and travel down.
Use binary uplifting for when moving up.

    Can you explain more?

    With binary lifting I understood that I need to reach the _k_th ancestor of vi in logn. Then need to find the deepest node from that _k_th ancestor excluding vi.

    How to do this excluding?

      First, for each node, we calculate the deepest child, the parent, the longest path if moving up the parent and down another subtree. So we have all calculated k=1 for all nodes. For each node i, if kth ancestor is j, we have: 2*k th ancestor of i = kth ancestor of i; max_path_from_i_up_to_2*k = max(path_from_i_up_to_k, k + path_from_j_up_to_k).

      For binary lifting we travel up the ancestors and update the longest path.
