Even though the DIV3 was harder than the last few DIV3's, I think the problem set was way more enjoying and educational for a lot of people. I hope you set more DIV3's MrPaul_TUser

Transposing the table in D2 was a nice idea! Saves a lot of casework.

A slightly shorter branchless alternative implementation of A, which does the same job (adding 1 to n before division by 3 is the same as incrementing the result by 1 in the case if the remainder was 2):

    when ur are considering the nos having frequency less than k the order also matters suppose there are 4 colors. and 1,2,3 are having count less than 4. if the arrangement is like : 1 2 2 3 1 nos in array. 1 2 3 4 1 coloring . the no 1 is getting the same color.

        The O(n^3k) part of your code is setting the dp table to -1, which has a small constant and runs very quickly (10^8 operations). Your recursive solve function for every root and distance runs in O(n^2k) time since every edge can only be connect to 2 vertices. Iteration to find combination over each edge happens at most twice each edge.

What if problem C was changed a bit and one letter should have more occurence than other letters taken individually, and not in total, how should we proceed then?

    Not sure whether this is correct, but here is what came to my mind.

    We can calculate the maximum number of words we can take considering every character as the 'dominant' character.

    Let us say we want to have 'a' as the dominant character. We iterate over all the words one by one, taking all of them in our collection (for now) and keeping track of the total frequency of every character till now. We also maintain separate sets for F(s, 'a', c2), where F(s, 'a', c2) represents this — In word s, frequency('a') — frequency(c2).

    So now, suppose we encounter a word due to which 'a' is no longer our dominant character, but instead 'b' is. We refer to our set for F(s, 'b', 'a') and remove the the word s which has the largest F(s, 'b', 'a') from our collection (and also from other sets).

    The idea is, take all words as you encounter them. But if a certain words causes 'a' to lose its dominancy to some other character (say 'b'), we will remove such a word which will reduce the total frequency of 'b' as much as possible while not hurting 'a' much, thus restoring dominancy of 'a'.

    seems to be just

    $$$ a_i > a_j $$$

Tutorial for D2 seems complecated.

We can reduce to two cases: Number of rows is odd or is even.

In case odd we need to place one row of horz dominoes, max k dominoes. In case even we do not.

Then we place allways two rows of dominoes at once, until k dominos are placed. Then fill all other fields with vert dominoes.

Finding a useable letter foreach dominoe is not hard, simply check the surrounding cells. 123518743

If anybody is interested and have enough time to help me, please do. I understand their are better approaches for B2 then this, but I am not able to understand why did this approach failed.

Approach :

  1. Find how the max number which we can allot colors by desired conditions , say this is x
  2. loop through k colors : 1.assign kth color to a number 2.Store that number in unordered_map, so that same color doesn't get assigned to same number 3.Maitian a count=x, which is basically the number of time to allot and decrease it everytime the color is alloted.

Here is the link for the submission — fails on tc 554 123566013

Also show no mercy if the code is bad, so that I get to learn how to code better than what I have done.

Peace out!

    use this tc 1 6 3 1 2 5 3 3 3 your solution will output 1 1 2 2 3 0 but one of the correct ans will be in the form 1 2 3 1 2 3 I think your solution will also give tle for larger value of n. if you till have any doubt feel free to ask me.

Is it possible to solve Equidistant Vertices in faster than O(N^2 K) (maybe with some optimization in the dp)?

    Here's what I think. If you fixed the root, and then you fixed the depth of the nodes from the root, you want to find the number of ways to pick $$$k$$$ nodes from them so that their pairwise LCA is the root. Naturally, this splits up our set into some $$$m$$$ groups, from which we can fix $$$k$$$ groups and then the number of ways would be the product of the sizes of those groups. Let's say the group sizes are $$$g_1, g_2,...,g_m$$$. If we consider the polynomial $$$(x+g_1)(x+g_2)...(x+g_m)$$$, then the value we want is the $$$k^{th}$$$ coefficient starting from the largest term ($$$0$$$-indexed). Now, this product can probably be computed in $$$\mathcal{O}(n {\log}^2 n)$$$ with divide-and-conquer+FFT/NTT for an overall complexity of $$$\mathcal{O}(n^2{\log}^2 n)$$$. I haven't implemented it myself, so please point out the error if you think I'm wrong.

        Well, I think the following: If we split our product into two halves and compute each half, we'll get two polynomials of roughly equal degree, which we can then multiply with FFT/NTT. The recurrence relation would look like $$$T(n)=2T(\frac{n}{2})+ \mathcal{O}(n\log n)$$$, and we can use the master theorem for divide-and-conquer to get that this works out to $$$\mathcal{O}(n{\log}^2 n)$$$. We can simply extract the required coefficient from the final answer presented in the form of a list of coefficients.

    When the number of test cases is equal to 10000 your vectors hsh[200005] and prev[200005] initializations take too much time. Try the size of vectors N like in your v[] and ans[] vectors.
    But your greedy idea to take the first vacant color is incorrect. Try test:
    1
    9 3
    1 2 3 4 5 6 6 7 7
    Your answer is:
    1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 0
    The correct answer may be:
    1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

Problem B2:

let's calculate for each of k colors the number of elements painted in the color — all calculated numbers must be equal

I am not understanding how are we managing this condition in given tutorial. Please anybody explain

    Take k occurrences of the numbers whose frequency is greater than or equal to k. For all other numbers, take the total sum of frequencies of these numbers (let say the sum is s), and color a*k of these occurrences s.t. (a+1)*k>s .

Another approach for B2 would be doing binary search on how many elements can be painted in one color.

Could anyone check why this submission of mine get WA for this test case (wrong answer invalid table description) :

1
45 90 967

When I change the line $$$38$$$ from char ans[n][m] to vector<string> ans(n, string(m, 'x')) as in this submission I get AC. So it probably has something to do with iterate through an ans[i][j] that hasn't been initialized, but I manually checked the result and didn't see anything wrong.

Hey guys, did you realise that in problem B2 the example was referring to the irrational number (pi) in the last three test cases? Nice one :D
