I've learned A LOT of optimizations tricks for BFS with this problem. I think that's the fastest BFS I've ever done LOL. A little hint if you are unsure what to do: Try to brute force the solution and optimize it. Eventually, you will get AC. And thanks to the author, for creating this amazing problem.

I use Disjoint-set
who can help me?

After so many calculation and math I have solved the problem.....
Here we can have two worst cases...

Case 1:
having all the right shoes first.so here needed time is 2*b and we have now all the left shoes remaining...so total time is 2*b+40...

Case 2:
we may have 39 right shoes so time needed here is (39*2=78)...then we have only one right foot left but we may encounter all the left shoes and here needed time is 40+2*(a-40)....> 40 for the first 40 shoes and 2*(a-40) is for the remaining shoes as they needed to be thrown away...then we have the only one right foot left and it need 1 second...
so total time = 78+40+2*(a-40)+1 = 119+2*a-80 = 2*a-39

ans=max(Case 1,Case 2)

My AC solution (6438921) does not work on this test

2
111111110000

1 9
2 3
3 4
5 11
6 7
7 8

Please add it. Moreover, I think there could be found much more tricky tests than the one above. Please try to do that and add them too (I am too lazy to help you with that :) ). You may look into my submission 6438944 where this case is handled (presumably as well as all other tricky cases).

I don't know the problem

use std::io;
use std::io::BufReader;
use std::io::BufRead;
fn minimal_product_digit(n: i64) -> i64{
    if n == 0 {return 10};
    if n < 10 { return n};

    let f : Vec<i64> = vec![2,3,5,7];
    let mut aux = n;
    let mut ret : Vec<i64> = Vec::new();
    for i in f{

        if  aux % i== 0 {

            loop{
                aux/=i;
                 ret.push(i);
                if aux % i != 0 {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    };

    if ret.is_empty() || aux > 1 {
        return -1;
    }

    match ret.iter().fold(0,|acc,elem| if *elem == 3{acc + 1} else {acc}) {

        1 => {

            let index = ret .iter().position(|&x| x == 3).unwrap();

            if index > 0{

                ret.remove(index);

                let k = ret.get_mut(index - 1).unwrap();

                *k = 6;

                ret.sort();

            }
        }

        _ => ()

    }
    let mut v : Vec<i64> = Vec::new();
    for i in ret{

        match i {

            2 | 3=>

                match v.last_mut(){

                    None => v.push(i),
                    Some(last) if i ==3 && *last == 2 => v.push(i),
                    Some(last) => {
                        let valor = *last;
                        if (valor * i) < 10{
                            *last = valor*i
                        }
                        else{
                            v.push(i);
                        }
                    }
                }
            _ => v.push(i)
        }
    }

        v.sort();
        v.iter().fold(0, |acc, elem| acc * 10 + elem)

}

fn main() {

    let mut line = String::new();
    let mut stdin = BufReader::new(io::stdin());

  stdin.read_line(&mut line).unwrap();

    let lim = line.trim().parse::<i64>().unwrap();

    println!("{:?}",minimal_product_digit(lim));

}

When n > 5 I guess, you can place one or more circles to free place within polygon?
I assume that answer for 5 and 6 is same

One doesn't have to execute their actions followed by the other.
For instance:
Sandro can execute 7 consecutive actions and after that Zagamius could execute 20.
So basically, their turns don't need to be consecutive.
Misinterpretation will lead to WA#4 or WA#5.

It is not said in the condition that the points have different coordinates. Can points have the same coordinates?

in some cases, there are more than 1 current user

Count numbers X and Y of quiet days for vacations given by intervals [1;r] and [1;l-1].

The answer to the problem would be ANS=X-Y.
How to count X and Y?

In the first step,  we eliminate every 2th.

That is,  CNT_0=r and and CNT_1=r//2

In the second step,  CNT_2=CNT_1//3.

And so on.

Until CNT > 0.

Last non-zero  CNT is the answer.

The 7th test case is:
2 5 1

And my program outputs 348.
I've tried to brute-force, and I got the same result. Did I misunderstand the problem?
What should be the output for this test case?

Input:
1 40 1
Output:
1099511627776

we can use the netflow algorithm(+ operator) to solve this problem.

    memset(pre,-1,sizeof(pre));

      else{

          if (flow[u][l[u][i]]) mindist=min(mindist,d[l[u][i]]);
        if (!--gap[d[u]]) return maxflow;

Since the requirements became stronger, and time was reduced from 2 sec down to 1 sec, now it is not possible to resolve the task using bruteforce method, python is very slow for such hard requirements.

Even I do empty loops the taken time is already about 1.3 sec.

from time import time
time_before = time()

len_lst = 20

for i in range(1, ((2 ** len_lst) // 2) - 1):

    for j in range(len_lst):

        pass

print(time() - time_before)

>>> 1.3192360401153564

I think for Python the time should be rolled back to 2 sec.
Of cause if I use bruteforce on "C" it takes about 0.2 sec, but Python is not "C".
