It’s just sad that such a contest was allowed on Codechef. “In an open-for-all competition, it is imperative for us to ensure that the problems match CodeChef standards in terms of quality.” - Just goes to show much the standard has degraded.

Thanks for sharing, was just wondering why is participation so less it doesn’t feels good even if you perform well
NO that’s incorrect ,it might not always be possible to have a triangle,
There exist two types of problems with less submissions - 1. Hard and 2. Ambiguous . This fell into the second category
Replying your ans as you are asking a specific question.First of all sorry for the inconvenience caused.I appreciate your brainstorming effort.In IEMCO01 ,we felt that giving more explanation may reveal pseudo code but after starting the exam we understood that many people are feeling it ambiguous (Total 2%-3% of individual participants reported problem on this contest and that’s huge for us to handle.We really regret for that and we can assure it will be clearer next time )We have posted in announcement to clarify while contest was going on.Lots of people reported now it is clear.Lots of people were also asking solution indirectly so we did not reply.
My request to you plz follow the announcement that was given yesterday.If still it is not clear ,our editorial will clarify.

By when shall we expect the editorials ?
I think k/2 should work because we can always select alternate vertices to satisfy the constraints. It gives WA though. Don’t know why.

yeah exactly I not only that I made 6 desperate submissions with all possible interpretations, curious to know what the actual solution is
