\section{Problem Statement Summary}
There are $N$ villages connected in a tree by rivers, with village $1$ as the root (the main river outlet). Each village $i$ (except the root) has a parent village $p_i$ (the next village downstream) and an edge weight $d_i$ (distance to parent). Each village produces $w_i$ units of wood that must be transported downstream to a sawmill.

We must place exactly $K$ sawmills at villages to minimize total transportation cost. The cost for village $i$ is $w_i \times (\text{distance from } i \text{ to nearest sawmill on path to root})$. There is always a sawmill at the root (or effectively, wood flows to root if no sawmill is encountered).

\section{Solution Approach}

\subsection{Tree DP}
Define $dp[v][j][0/1]$:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $v$: current vertex (subtree rooted at $v$).
    \item $j$: number of sawmills placed in the subtree of $v$ (including $v$ itself).
    \item Last flag (0 or 1): whether there is a sawmill at $v$ or at some ancestor ``claimed'' by $v$'s subtree.
\end{itemize}

More precisely, let:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $dp[v][j][0]$ = minimum cost for the subtree of $v$ using $j$ sawmills, given that the nearest sawmill above $v$ (on the path to root) is at $v$'s closest ancestor with a sawmill.
    \item $dp[v][j][1]$ = minimum cost for the subtree of $v$ using $j$ sawmills, given that $v$ itself has a sawmill.
\end{itemize}

Actually, the standard formulation is:

$dp[v][j]$ = minimum transport cost for the subtree rooted at $v$, placing $j$ sawmills in this subtree, given that the nearest sawmill on the path to root (outside $v$'s subtree) is at distance $D$ from $v$.

Since $D$ can vary, we parameterize by the nearest ancestor sawmill. A cleaner formulation:

$dp[v][j]$ = minimum cost in subtree of $v$ using $j$ sawmills, assuming the nearest sawmill above $v$ is at $v$'s parent's nearest sawmill.

We pass the distance to the nearest ancestor sawmill as a parameter during DFS.

\subsection{Knapsack Merging on Tree}
When merging children subtrees, we use the tree knapsack technique:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item For vertex $v$ with children $c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_m$:
    \item Process children one by one. After processing child $c_i$, merge the DP tables.
    \item Merging: for each $(j_1, j_2)$ where $j_1$ sawmills are used in already-merged children and $j_2$ in child $c_i$'s subtree, the total is $j_1 + j_2$ with cost $dp_{\text{merged}}[j_1] + dp[c_i][j_2]$.
\end{enumerate}

This is $O(N \cdot K)$ per vertex (with the tree knapsack trick of bounding the sum of subtree sizes).

\subsection{Handling the Ancestor Sawmill Distance}
For each vertex $v$, we consider two cases:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Place a sawmill at $v$: cost of transporting $v$'s wood is $0$. Children see distance $d_{child}$ to nearest sawmill.
    \item Don't place a sawmill at $v$: cost of transporting $v$'s wood is $w_v \times D$ where $D$ is the distance to the nearest ancestor sawmill. Children see distance $D + d_{child}$.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Complexity Analysis}
\begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{Time:} $O(N \cdot K^2)$ with the tree knapsack merging. Using the ``small-to-large'' or bounded subtree size trick, this becomes $O(N \cdot K)$ amortized.
    \item \textbf{Space:} $O(N \cdot K)$.
\end{itemize}

\section{Notes}
The tree DP with knapsack merging is a standard technique for ``place $K$ facilities on a tree'' problems. The key subtlety in this problem is that the cost for each vertex depends on the nearest sawmill on its path to the root, which means we need to pass the ancestor-sawmill distance as a parameter.

The two-call approach (calling \texttt{solve2} twice per child with different ancestor distances) leads to exponential blowup and is incorrect. The proper solution either:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Tracks the ancestor sawmill distance as a dimension in the DP (discretized to at most $O(N)$ distinct values), or
    \item Uses the $dp[v][j][0/1]$ formulation with a single DFS, where the ancestor distance is fixed at DFS time and the flag distinguishes whether $v$ has a sawmill.
\end{enumerate}

For the IOI constraints ($N \leq 100$, $K \leq 50$), an $O(N^2 K)$ solution is more than sufficient.
