Codeforces Round #282
By matrix, 10 years ago, In English

Hi,

Codeforces Round #282 will be held at 13th of December, 19:30 MSK. Please don't note anything since the time is the usual time of contests.

The round is prepared by FarbodY, Haghani and Me(matrix).

We'd like to thank Zlobober who helped us a LOT for preparing the problems, MikeMirzayanov for the Polygon and Codeforces platforms and Delinur for helping us in preparing statements and translating them.

Our special thanks goes to mruxim for testing the round.

The problems will be sorted according to the estimated order of difficulty according to our opinion but we strongly recommend you to read all of the problems.

As always the update regarding score distribution will be posted just before the round starts. :)

UPD: It was written that contest starts at 20:00 MSK. it was a mistake and is fixed now. The round starts at usual time 19:30 MSK.

UPD2: We also thank niyaznigmatul for testing our round.

UPD3: Score distribution:

Div1: 500-1000-1750-1750-2500

Div2: 500-1000-1500-2000-2750

As you might have noticed, the scores can now be multiples of 250 as well. Let's thank Codeforces team for adding this feature!

Good luck and Have fun!

UPD4: Congratulations to the winners of both divisions:

Div1:

  1. tourist
  2. winger
  3. sankear
  4. uwi
  5. Egor

Div2:

  1. Ginger88895
  2. pwild
  3. arthurpd
  4. konmaj
  5. ezkatka

The editorial for all problems except D and E Div1 are ready and can be found here. It'll be completed soon.

We thank you all for participating and hope you had a good time.

UPD5: The editorial is now complete and can be found here.

Don't you think it is a good idea to announce the scoring right now? Because of I think the website will be down (hope not) in a few minutes and you won't be able to announce it just before the contest! :D It would be after the start of the contest!

        I'm pretty sorry.

        For A2, it was pretty simple too: many people had problems with calculating answers for numbers in segment 01-09.

        Also many people accidentally had 6 instead of 7 for 1.

    I found all occurrences of t in s using KMP, then did DP on the the position of the last substring you take.

    So dp[k] would be the number of valid substring selections where none of the substrings have any chars after the kth char, and the kth char is within one of the selected substrings. Calculating dp[k+1] would depend on whether a pattern of t ended at position k+1 or not.

    I'm not sure if this is right, but it passed pretests.

      I did it in the same way — probably a useful structure is >> int last_before[i] << , indicating where is the last occurence of t in s, that ends before i. Then the recurrence can be sumarized to:

      dp[i+1]=dp[i]+sumdp[last_before[i+1]]

      sumdp[i+1]=sumdp[i]+dp[i+1]

      (with edge cases and similar stuff added, of course)

    Dynamic programming . For each index i in array, calculate the number of ways dp[i] such that b_k is i. And then sum of all these ways.

    To do this , first find out all the occurences of pattern in text using KMP. Then recursion to calculate dp[i] for i =1 to n(size of text) would be

    dp[i] = sum( j = 0 to pat_start[i] , sum(t = 0 to j, dp[t] ) ); dp[0] = 1;

    where pat_start[i] = largest index p such that Substring[p,i] contains given pattern.

    Now this dp might seem like O(n^2) but by maintaining some additional summations, we can do it in O(n)

Я один столкнулся с тем, что, пытаясь взломать, при открытии чужого решения, открывается окно с посылками, само решение не открывается, ссылку с решением, на которую можно нажать тоже нет, в итоге взламывать невозможно? Так было вначале, потом удалось таки один раз взломать, потом тоже самое до конца контеста. Поведение одно и тоже на Ubuntu (Chrome и FF) и на Win8 (Chrome).

Я конечно и сам залажал контест, но невозможность взламывать тоже как-то выбила из колеи.

Ответы жюри:

    The idea here is to change each # in such a way to get a correct sequence of brackets, correct sequence is "()", and then "(correct)" or "()correct" or "correct()", I think I didn't miss any.

    If we want to get correct sequence of brackets on each index i starting from 0, we should have the number of ')'-s less or equal to number of '('-s and these two numbers should be equal for the whole string. Here we should keep in mind that we should change each # with at least one of ')'. So we can replace each # with only one ')' and we can replace the right most # with such number of ')'-s that the number of ')'-s will be equals to number of '('-s in the whole string. My solution was this, I hope it will pass system testing.

I solved E, but read it in a wrong way: I thought rectangles could not intersect. I understood I needed a segment tree, but couldn't wrote it in time. Now it's working with stress test. :( I think it made the problem worse. When you've already got the idea, got the formula for d[x][y], then for rectangle it should be ok. I don't see any difference (except the time). It could be very easy to write mathematical problem. I haven't read all the problems but I like all I've seen.)

    Well, for example non-terminated C-string, or too small allocated size for char buffer...

what is the difference between

long long ind = lower_bound (x2.begin(), x2.end(),i)-x2.begin(); if(x2[ind]>i){ind = ind-1;}

and

long long ind = upper_bound (x2.begin(), x2.end(),i)-x2.begin(); ind = ind-1;

?

Second one passed,first one didn't. I was trying to find largest element less than/equals to i in vector x2

What's worse than both your solutions failing? Your friend dropping to div-2 for 1 point.

    Check this. Relative error is OK.

    That's because the relative error is less than 10 - 6.

    I also noticed that for large inputs, even the trivial lower bound could get AC automatically... I wonder how the submissions could get affected by higher precision (and smaller ai-s).

judging system of codeforces is quite bad. Because in the contest time judges should provide all input/output testcases. When a coder gets Pretest Passed, he moves to other problem, but after contest he sometimes notice that the solution was wrong. If in the contest time he gets Wrong Answer he could get Accepted.

      No problem about hack. But judges should provide strong cases for every problem. After getting hack coder tries to solve it again in contest time.

        If they provide all testcases when judging during a contest, nobody would be able to hack other peoples solution. You have to either figure the tricky testcases on your own or pray someone will hack you. This makes contests more exciting.

    If for every code judge system tests all tests during the contest judging process will be too slow and it make some troubles during the contest,
