Discussion of Problem 1705. Gangster Hares

[n/m]==[n/(m+1)]
Posted by Wang Jia 11 Apr 2009 21:59
maybe the problem can be abstracted as the following one:

n,m are integers, n given, find the smallest m such that [n/m]==[n/(m+1)] holds, where [] denotes the floor() function.

well, anyone has any ideas?

Yes, it's redefinition of problem.

The binary search works. But it isn't a binary search by the answer. ;)

I use binary search of answer in range Sqrt(n) and Sqrt(n) + Sqrt(Sqrt(n))
