Boxes

You are at position 0 on a circular track of length L with n boxes at sorted positions p_0 p_1 p_ n-1. You can carry at most K boxes at a time and must return to position 0 after each trip. Minimise the total distance...

Horses

Given arrays X[0..n - 1] and Y[0..n - 1] with X[i] 1, the profit from selling at year i is P(i) = Y[i] _ j=0 ^ i X[j]. Find _ 0 i < n P(i) 10^9 + 7, with point-update operations on X and Y.

Scales

Six coins have distinct weights forming a hidden permutation of \ 1, 2,, 6\. Available queries (each with 3 outcomes): getLightest(A,B,C), getMedian(A,B,C), getHeaviest(A,B,C): return the lightest/median/heaviest of t...

Sorting

Given a permutation S[0..n - 1] and a sequence of m grader swaps (P_i, Q_i), in each round i the grader first applies swap (P_i, Q_i) to S, then you apply your own swap (X_i, Y_i). Find the minimum number of rounds m^...

Teams

Each child i can join only teams whose size lies in [A_i,B_i]. For one query we are given team sizes K_1,,K_m and must decide whether the children can be partitioned accordingly.

Towns

We are given distances only between the N leaves of a weighted tree. Internal vertices are the large cities. We must find the hub radius R, and for the full task also decide whether some optimal hub is balanced: after...
