Educational Codeforces Round 164 [Rated for Div. 2]
By awoo, history, 3 weeks ago, translation, In English

Neapolis University Pafos

Hello Codeforces!

The series of Educational Rounds continues thanks to the support of the Neapolis University Pafos.

On Apr/12/2024 17:35 (Moscow time) Educational Codeforces Round 164 (Rated for Div. 2) will start.

This round will be rated for the participants with rating lower than 2100. It will be held on extended ICPC rules. The penalty for each incorrect submission until the submission with a full solution is 10 minutes. After the end of the contest, you will have 12 hours to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.

You will be given 6 or 7 problems and 2 hours to solve them.

The problems were invented and prepared by Adilbek adedalic Dalabaev, Ivan BledDest Androsov, Maksim Neon Mescheryakov, Roman Roms Glazov and me. Also, huge thanks to Mike MikeMirzayanov Mirzayanov for great systems Polygon and Codeforces.

Big thanks to the tester shnirelman for his valuable advice and suggestions!

Good luck to all the participants!

I'm just wonder why there are few Educational Rounds on Saturday...(They are my favourite) As a boarding school students, I only have space time to participate contests on each Saturday, so I can only vp it. :(

Wish there will be more Educational Rounds on Saturday :)

    Solution can be proved using induction. My first thought is using (x + y) ^ 2 / 4 >= x * y. The equal sign happens when x = y => Then we should make x and y closer

    If you have 2 numbers $$$x$$$ and $$$c-x$$$ whose sum is a constant $$$c$$$, then their product is $$$x \cdot c - x^2$$$. Differentiating with respect to $$$x$$$ you get $$$c - 2x$$$, and differentiating again you get $$$-2$$$, which is always negative. Thus, setting the first differential at $$$0$$$ gives you $$$x = c/2$$$, which means that the original numbers being closer to $$$c/2$$$ will have the higher product. This is "kind of" common knowledge, but now you have a proof. Algebraic proofs are also common. This one's for the calculus lovers.

    $$$xy = \frac{(x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2}{4}$$$ , and as $$$x+y$$$ is constant we should minimize $$$|x-y|$$$

    The intuition behind it is that if the sum of two numbers is fixed, their product reaches max when each of them is set to SUM/2 (you can easily prove this). Since the sum won't change your goal is to minimize the greater number and maximize the lower one, so just figure out the first different digit of each and put the lower of the remaining digits in the one where first different digit is greater and the others in the smaller one.

      I remember seeing a proof like this. I was thinking something similar during contest, but I wanted to make the sum of x digits close as possible to sum of y digits (instead of actual numbers).

    Asterisk = unofficial participants != unrated participants. Basically there are no unofficial participants in div1/2 contests. In div3 or below, some class of people must participate unofficially to give less motivations to cheat by making official standings consist of "cleaner" people.

        Refer to the last div3 contest's announcement for the exact condition to be considered official participants, but in sum:

        • Difference between official / unofficial exists to make the official standings look nicer and discourage unsporting behavior, and only applies to div3 contests or below.
        • Rated / unrated is solely judged by participants' ratings -- people below a certain rating are always rated, regardless of their official / unofficial status.

        Unrated : When the contest will not affect your ratings due to your current rating range being out of the bounds from the contest. You will be shown in final standings. It depends on your current rating( & no of contests you have participated in for new users).

        Unofficial : You will not come in final standings unless you mark the check box with [] show unofficial. This also includes people who have submitted post contest or during virtual contests. It has nothing to do with your current rating.

        Please correct me if someone has a better explanation.

    I also think this is weird. In normal div2 contests they don't appear on the scoreboard unless you tick the "Show unofficial" option. For some reason in educational contests they appear even though the contest is unrated for them, and the option to filter for div2 appears only after the hacking phase (or sometime after the contest, anyway)

      In early days educational rounds weren't rated for anyone, so it's not a surprise that everyone was official participant. It's just that at some point it started to be rated for Div. 2 people, among all 'official' participants.

      Instead of basic chain attack we might consider the one that attacks all enemies at once but we pay $$$c$$$ cost for each attack where $$$c$$$ is number of maximal segments (segments that we cannot expand) of consecutive alive enemies (then we want to compute the cost instead of attacks count). One might notice that if we are able to quickly compute $$$c$$$ after some number of attacks in $$$O(1)$$$, then we can compute all answers in $$$O(MXlogMX)$$$ by simple simulation. To compute $$$c$$$ efficiently we can precompute how many maximal segments will remain after dealing $$$x$$$ damage to all enemies, which is pretty standard problem. My solution for reference

    tmp[{sum, mx}] += cnt;
tmp[{tsum, tmx}] += cnt;

    you didn't use mod in this line. The wrong answer was because of overflow.

                tmp[{sum, mx}] %= MOD;
            tmp[{tsum, tmx}] += cnt;
            tmp[{tsum, tmx}] %= MOD;
            tmp[{sum, mx}] += cnt;

    I fixed it and resubmitted, but got TLE on testcase 16.

    No language has any advantage, If The number can Go upto 10^100 then ofcourse you shouldn't even consider making it a number anyway, as the biggest number would almost take 300+ bits to be stored, If anyone even as to tries to store them in a int ( say someone stores it in a Big-integer in Java) then it just makes accessing individual digits harder, so a number isn't the way.

    Actually, it's not really about large numbers, just the property that the product would be maximized when the numbers are closest to each other.

        Let us call the constant sum of $$$x$$$, and $$$y$$$, as $$$c$$$. Then,
        $$$x = c - y$$$
        The product, $$$p$$$, can be written as
        $$$p = (c - y) \cdot y$$$
        Differentiating with respect to $$$y$$$, we get
        $$$p' = c - 2 \cdot y$$$
        WLOG, we can assume that
        $$$x \geq y$$$
        i.e., $$$2 \cdot y \leq c$$$
        $$$\implies p' = c - 2 \cdot y \geq 0 \ \ \ \forall y \leq x$$$
        Here, we see, that the first order differential (or the rate of change) of $$$p$$$ is positive over all valid $$$y$$$, i.e., $$$p$$$ increases with $$$y$$$, so we just have to maximize $$$y$$$ (while ensuring that it is less than $$$x$$$)

        A simpler proof without calculus:
        Let $$$c$$$, be the constant sum, and $$$p$$$, be the product.
        WLOG, let
        $$$x \geq y$$$
        For some non-negative $$$d$$$,
        $$$x = c/2 + d$$$
        $$$y = c/2 - d$$$
        $$$p = (c/2 + d) \cdot (c/2 - d)$$$
        $$$p = c^2/4 - d^2$$$
        Thus, on minimizing $$$d$$$, $$$p$$$ is maximized, as $$$c$$$ is a constant, which is effectively what you're doing

      The number of groups is max(maximum value, ceil(sum / 2)). So the sum values less than 2 * a[i] and greater than 2 * a[i] can be dealt separately.

      A rough inadequately explained solution:

      In the sorted array

      Let dp[i][j]: number of subsequences ending at i and having sum j

      f[i]: sum of ceil(sum / 2) over all subsequences ending at i

      Then the sum of values of subsequences ending at i will be:

      a[i] * (dp[i][0] + ... + dp[i][2 * a[i]]) + f[i] — sum(dp[i][j] * ceil(j / 2)) [j from 0 to 2 * a[i]]

      So I would only need sum up to 2 * a[i] to maintain the dp.

    Problem E. Let's call F[i] is the number of connected components when there were i damages dealt to all elements. We can find this by DSU or simple array. Lets for k from 1 to max(a[i]). Consider when the damage strike is k. At damage 0, F[0] = 1, so we need one strike. Next, when the damage is k, we need F[k] strike (because there were F[k] components). F[2 * k], F[3 * k], F[4 * k], ... is similar. The complexity is n / 1 + n / 2 + ... + n / n = n log n.

      when the damage is k, we need F[k] strike

      It is confusing for me. Maybe I misunderstand something. For example, a = [5, 2, 7] and k = 2. Then F[2] = 2, and the strike need to be done is 6. (2 != 6)

        I think what he means is that if k = 2, it takes f[0] + f[2] + f[4] + f[6] + ... + f[i] casts to kill all, where i is a multiple of k and i <= max(A).

    When you want to "merge" 2 nearest numbers, neither of which is equal to a[0], you merge them using only v[i] — v[i-1] — 1 deletions. (However, you are correct in your count of moves, necessary to made first and last numbers in array differ from each over).

        Yes, the answer should be 2. Your mistake is that between indices v[i] and v[i-1] there are only (v[i] — v[i-1] — 1) other indices, and not (v[i] — v[i-1]) (as you count in your submission). Essentially, you are deleting 1 more element than you really need.

        I can assure you, that the so-called "+-1 errors" are increadibly common for all programmers, and even after a years of programming you can still make this mistake. But i can afford an approach, which can probably reduce a chance of this mistake for you: in such cases, try to think about every index as a half-interval on the numeric line from zero (not inclusive) to i (incluzive), When you subtract one index from another, you get a length of half-interval from first index (not inclusive) to second (inclusive), meaning length as number of indices this half-interval cover.

        So, in that approach to get the number of indices between i and j, you should just remove 1 excess index from half-interval "j — i" (and that's how you get number j — i — 1).

        Not sure that this is exactly what you needed, but in my experience half-interval thinking often simplifies case analysis "where to assign an extreme value"

Couldn't solve 'C', in 'C' i just realize multiplication works like Bits So greedily we'll allocate max of (s1[i], s2[i]) where (s1[i] != s2[i]) at the highest significant place of 's1' (at i) and then from there, iterate to the least significant side and allocate max of (s1[i], s2[i]) in place of 's2' (at i) and min of (s1[i], s2[i]) in place of 's1' (at i)

In contest, i knew to get the max multiplication possible, we have to do something such that difference of both numbers is less as possible.. but couldn't prove any soln for this. and ppl found 'C' the easiest LOL

      If one color accounts for more than half of the total, all the rest is not enough to pair up with it;

      Otherwise, you can repeat: group one of each of the 2 colors with the most balls and take them away. In this way, you will not get a 1-ball group except the final one.

      This might also help:

      Let's assume we have three (you can assume more too) color balls with count: a a+x a+x+y such that a+x+y<a+a+x for the 2nd process => y<a

      This is what will happen with them as with repeat the process a a+x a+x+y a a a+y a-floor(y/2) a-ceil(y/2) a a+1 a a 1 0 0

      Hope this helps in understanding that at max 1 ball will be left only.

    I noticed that after I find the most significant number in a that is larger than a number in b (assuming a > b), b is more important in making the product a larger number, so I need to maximize the numbers in b after that first different number.

    If you brute force over all possible sets, that would be $$$2^{5000}$$$, which is infeasible. A hint here would be to consider that the sum of all possible subsets is very small, and you can probably do just as much with a $$$CountOfSubsetsWith[SubsetSum]$$$ as brute-force.

How do you solve F? Initially it looked like a trivial application of Burnside Lemma, but the set of all reachable reachable states $$$X$$$ (here states are different in the usual string comparison sense) isn't acted upon by the cyclic group $$$C_n$$$.

      Vote: I like it +8 Vote: I do not like it

    You can still apply Burnside Lemma here, but first you need to extend X to contain all shifts of reachable states. This is equivalent to making X contain all the combinations with no more than k+c 1s and having at least one (cyclic) contiguous segment of c 1s. After applying Burnside's Lemma, you'll end up with a similar subproblem for every divisor of n. Now every subproblem can be solved using inclusion-exclusion principle.

    I believe that this approach can be optimized to solve the problem in $$$O(n*\log\log(n))$$$ time

    For a given subsequence, the value or the number of pairs we can form is the maximum element, if it is greater than the sum of remaining elements otherwise $$$\lceil sum/2 \rceil$$$

      But the only way to compute that would be to check each combination and calculate their sum. How does one incorporate dp in that to make it O(n^2)?

        You can calculate the number of sets that sum to a particular number using dp

        dp[i][k] = dp[i — 1][k] + dp[i — 1][k — A[i]] where dp[i][k] represents the number of subsets with sum k that can be formed using elements up to the ith index

          during calculation of ans,why did u multiply the VALUE with dp[i-1][j] and not dp[i][j]?also what does your dp[i][j] represent.

          edit:nvm,i got what u did

        Since we are dealing with subsequences, the order does not matter so sort the array.
        In this sorted array we can calculate $$$dp[n][sum(A)]$$$ in $$$O(n^2)$$$ where $$$dp[i][j]$$$ = number of subsequences using first i elements having sum j

        Invert the sum:

        sum over subsets f(subset) = sum over values v * (number of subsets with f(subset) = v)

        if you need a reference see Concrete mathematics chapter on sums.

        Consider array: 7 7 7 1 Without sorting when the sum is equal to 15 you are using 1 3 times and 7 0 times. With sorting you are using 1 0 times and 7 3 times.

        Your code assumes that the biggest number you are taking in this case is 1 because you consider it after 7. Hope this will help.

          that make much sense now, when update cnt any value less then 7 should be accounted otherwise will not counted but for greater number it doesn't matter because greater number will takeover.

This was a really good round (even if I didn't compete), the problemset was superb. I loved D and E. C was a little too easy to be in its position, but still entertaining nonetheless.

        These aren't (or may be) a part of the main tests.
        I put them as a sample of counter examples of your code.

        I think you can't know the exact test's input when its order become high like +80.

    Because you are declaring arrays ways and dp of size N*S which can get as high as $$$5000^2$$$.

    And since you are declaring them inside main function, it uses the automatic storage class, which is allocated in the stack frames.

    Stack frame's memory is quite limited and $$$5000^2$$$ integers is a lot.

    I changed the arrays to use static storage class with constant size 5000*5000 here 256430212 and your code passes :)

        Note that Codeforces' compiler options make C++'s stack size unusually large. On Windows, the default stack size is 1MB but on Codeforces environment it's set to 256MB (see Codeforces Command Lines). On normal programming, you should never write that kind of code.

        (Small rant: large stack size gives advantages to C++ (and a few other compiled languages that has similar settings), which is kind of unfair to other languages. On C++, you can recklessly write deeply recursive functions thanks to the large stack size -- on the other hand, it's not possible to write deep recursion on Python.)

    You can not create such a big C array in function. The stack of a function is only several Megabytes and is only suitable for around $$$10^5$$$ integers. You can try to use a global array which can be much bigger or use std::vector.

if you read the blog for latest div 2 contest it states that "UPD: The rating changes for Educational Codeforces Round 164 will be applied after this round." That means the rating will be given after the div 2 right?
