You guys always reject every single problem idea I propose without any feedback.
These guys also reject every submission I make
Its most likely a scam. I dont think they are interested in actually paying people.
a lot of people, both international and indians, have been involved in codechef setting before. Please do not make such wild accusations.
For me they accepted the problem last december.
Some back and forth communication and aren't replying now.
let me guess another round that is just a bunch of puzzles ?
how exactly is second character in S an 'a'? lol.
i am sorry i made an error
it should be 1st character
Codechef never disappoints in disappointing

I gave div 2, the question A felt a bit harder than B and even C!
I really liked the problems, more power to you guys!
Div 3 B was a good question. I had this approach pruning the unnecessary 'b's out after 'a' to match it with regex b*(a(b*))* and then equating them, but took long time in implementing it.
It's actually easier than that. Just make sure that the total number of a's and the number of initial b's are equal.
Just make sure the number of
a'sin both are equal and if so then the first occurrence ofashould be same, as we can't add morebelse before that.yea, implemented the same. thankyou.
