I am thinking about hosting a twitch stream soon after the contest to discuss the tasks from the contest.
What is your opinion on it.
Incase there is good response I will host a stream discussing problems.

Can anyone please explain me why

WA SOLUTION
This is giving WA BUT

AC SOLUTION
Got me AC

The only difference is I used an “unordered map” in the second solution. I understand it improves the time complexity but there was still not an issue of that.

“Biased Judgement”

Why is this solution giving a complete 100 pt. ? Link to my practice solution

Why stream on Twitch ? AFAIK its designed specifically for streaming Games although normal streaming isn’t impossible, but still there maybe some issues. Why not live stream on YouTube instead ? And yes a live stream right after the contest would be a really good idea since we can atleast have a sound sleep having understood the problems which gave us a headache during the contest :stuck_out_tongue:

Identical solutions give WA and AC.

You WA solution gets AC if submitted in practice.

You are right @eugalt

I submitted in practice

https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/20399446

This is giving AC.

@admin @teja349 @kingofnumbers please look into the matter. There is a serious problem with Codechef I believe. This problem is faced very often these days.
