When I opened Hard, I was sure that I saw this problem (=analysis of games with cycles) before, but I couldn't find a correct keyword to Google, and spent 30 or 40 mins staring at irrelevant articles (and lost a ticket to the Finals). And now I suddenly remembered it's 1442F - Differentiating Games. All hail Codeforces...

Congratulations to advancers btw.
