    The Laptop Bags will be shipped across India. However, the T-Shirts are for On-Site Finalists only.

          maybe the problem is about the post cost. I know it will cost you much if you post for about 100 participants. how about postint T-Shirt for Winner or Top 3 or Top 10 ?

          I have checked for the feasibility of your suggestions. Unfortunately, We will not be able to implement it this year being so close to the contest. We have taken your suggestions into consideration and will definitely implement them next year.

    There can multiple ways to do it, here is one possible way:

    Preprocessing: Make a Segment Tree to store frequency for incoming elements.

    Start with Traversing the tree from the root and increase the frequency of each node when you visit it. Then add (val[currnode] * sumOfSegmentTree(from val[node]+1 to MAX_ELEMENT)) to your answer. Complexity: O(N LogN)

    There is a new rule from codechef that they will not show sponsored contests links in their contest page because codechef is non-profit site.
