1) write in the assignment that family ties and victims cannot be repeated in the input, or add such tests. this is a real problem when searching for maniacs in databases. 2) write in the assignment that a werewolf cannot kill himself. |

| Why this taks can not be solved with Trie? :@@ | Giorgi Pataraia [Tbilisi SU] | 1414. Astronomical Database | 12 Jun 2026 00:26 | 6 |
It's just brute-force task :) There 36 lines in my AC code versus yours 165 lines :) Edited by author 08.03.2013 19:59 thanks, now AC with set :/ It can actually be solved with trie. My solution uses 0.4s (cin) and 20MB. Just store a map in every node. Solved with C++ with tree of static arrays of links, without any STL structures Same here. 0.062 sec, 1.8Mb |

I have solved this problem by Fenvic tree, at first I got WA on 5 test, then I changed int-s into long long-s and now I have WA on 6 test. If you had this kind of experience please tell me what types should I use to get AC? Thanks. The test 6 aint about data types' ranges. იდეაში, ეგ ხო ფენვიკის ხით უნდა გავიდეს, მე ვთვლი რაოდენობას, რამდენი გაყიდვა შესრულდება და შემდეგ ვამრავლებ 0.01–ზე და ვაბეჭდინებ. და ეგრე უნდა მუშაობდეს წესით ხო?

| Is there better solution then O(n^3) for each test? | vgu | 1221. Malevich Strikes Back! | 11 Jun 2026 21:35 | 5 |
How I can do it on 0.001? Edited by author 31.10.2008 02:29 Edited by author 16.06.2009 00:42 I track w0[i][j] as length of longest horizontal stride of a[i][j]==0 starting at i,j (0 if a[i][j]==1), symmetric for w1[i][j]. Now w1[i][j] defines the length to be tested (as 2*w[i][j]+1), this is done by descending downwards. At first it seems to be O(N^3) but due to nature of the pattern you won't descend all that frequently, so I believe it's O(N^2), and it gave 0.001 AC in C++ |

You should find maximum matrix which is square, black and also contains white square inside rotated by 45 degrees. For instance: 1) 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 2) 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 are desired matrices maximum width of which you must find 1st matrix is invalid (pre-last row) |
| Can we do this in O(N) ? | Nikunj Banka | 1031. Railway Tickets | 10 Jun 2026 11:52 | 5 |
My solution runs in O(N logN) and it uses heap data structure. The discussion forums hint that there may be a O(N) time solution. Is there a linear time algorithm? heap?:D just use lower_bound And, BTW, Yes there is. At first I used Binary Search on each station but on the next station you can start with the previous index. code: int canReach1 = A[i] + L1; while (ind1 <= end && A[ind1] <= canReach1) ind1 ++; i've used dp (which is easy to notice) with some optimization. suppose we have three stations s1 s2 s3 and there exists path s1-s2 covered with l1, and path s1-s3 also covered with l1. then we can skip the analysis from s2. we can easily reduce used time if we create list of "allowed" stations to analyze (like s3) You can keep deque (FIFO) of pairs (max_x,total_price) if using C1 on last trip, same for C2, same for C3. All three deques will be non-descending on price (and naturally ascending on coordinate). At each step pick minimum from non-empty deques (their front element) and push new advances to their end.

Notice, that you can move duons alongside diagonal (A->F, A->H, G->E, ...) Set up your own camera numbering. Change the C-D and H-G numbers. |

It is much more interesting to look for good tests for this task than just to solve it. Here is the AC program (with a small error in order not to publish solutions). I will look for where it will fail. #include<iostream> #include<cmath>//too lazy to write sqrt() yourself int main() { unsigned l, h, o; std::cin>>l>>h>>o; unsigned phase = 0; if(l<h*2) phase = o*sqrt((2*h-l)/981)/15+1; char const*answer[]{"Butter","Bread\n"}; std::cout<<answer[(phase>>1)&1]<<std::endl; } |
| You can use a segment tree for brace balance checking | Levon Oganesyan | 1574. Mathematicians and brackets | 8 Jun 2026 21:12 | 2 |
Tree for minimum is enough. It's O(N) problem with O(1) memory (apart from string itself) |

Just used STL contaners such as std::map<std::string,T>, std::vector<T>. :) 33 lines of code. what is "T"? give please full description. I used a map and a set. My time was a little less than 2 times faster, and used a little more than 2 times more memory. struct dir { std::string name; std::map<std::string, dir*> children_items; std::set<std::string> children_names; }; The set gives you the sorted list. The map gives you instant access to a subdirectory of a given directory by name (taken from the set) Edited by author 29.12.2022 02:15 struct dir { map<string, dir> sub; } root; |
