Hi!

I am thrilled to invite you to participate in CodeChef’s October Cook-Off, this Sunday, October $$$18$$$, from 9:30 pm to 12:00 am IST.

Followings are the basic information:

  • Participants in each division will be given $$$6$$$ problems and $$$2.5$$$ hours to solve them.
  • All problems have been cooked by me.
  • Statements are very short unlike this announcement!
  • Problems will have strong samples.
  • There will be an interactive problem in this round, so, you should know how to deal with them.
  • I hope your internet connection is good as some of the problems will feature awesome animations that I have created using Manim! Yeah, it means the problems will have better explanations.
  • In my last contest, only $$$103$$$ div2 participants managed to solve div2C which is not good at all. So this time I have tried to maintain a more balanced difficulty distribution.
  • I would like to thank teja349 for his brilliant coordination of this round.
  • amnesiac_dusk tasted the problems(I hope they taste sweet!). I want to thank him particularly for helping me with the preparation of a few problems.
  • Psychik is in charge of the editorials.
  • Needless to say, Xellos did the statement improvements.
  • Video Editorialists: Chirayu, agarwal19,darshancool25, manijuana, divesh2201
  • Translators: Mediocrity [Russian], Team VNOI [Vietnamese], solaimanope [Bengali], devils_code [Hindi], qingczha [Mandarin]

Prizes: The top $$$10$$$ Indian and top $$$10$$$ Global participants will receive CodeChef laddus, with which the winners can claim cool CodeChef goodies. Know more here.

The video editorials of the problems will be available on our YouTube channel as soon as the contest ends. Subscribe to get notifications about our new editorials.

Also, if you have some original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef's contests, you can share them here.

Good luck!

This is probably the first time a problem statement will have animations to help with the explanation. What a time to be alive!

Screencast with commentary, 2nd place: https://youtu.be/bDoHVOZlqCE

Every problem was nice separately (I especially liked PATHSUMS, INVERACT, MORPH) but there was too much constructive stuff. Div1 was: construct tree, construct sequence, construct sequence, discover sequence, transform sequence, unsolvable problem. The third of these (XOXO) quickly becomes dp problem but everything else was constructive/adhoc, that's just too much.

I understand now why antontrygubO_o enjoyed your previous cook-off :D

      Can you describe the part of not calculating all gcds and minimum for every subarray naively and getting the accurate answer code seems wonderful but I just need to know the trick used here as it seems a wonderful thing to learn.
