How to solve JPUFF?
(in case the solution is based on flows, can anyone provide me with a neat implementation?)

I didn’t get time to implement but I think it’s just a bipartite matching problem on the divisors. I mean say we have 2 x N nodes,[1 → N and A_1 → A_n]. then we make edges from A_i to it’s diviors and then we’ll have to find any perfect matching.

Find a bipartite matching. On left we keep the N numbers and add an edge between A_i and all of its divisors. Didn’t code but I guess it should work.

I thought of the same exact thing but I don’t know how to implement it :frowning:

Any ideas on the implementation?.
Instead I added divisors which are in the range 1 to N for each A[i].

Yes, I don’t see any problem with that. Didn’t that work ?

Ford Fulkerson Residual graphs. All edges with flow 1 are part of the answer.

I missed the case with disconnected component in my code and ran out of time to debug.

Bro how did you solve the Poke Dice problem I thought it was a easy one, but it ate me up.

Would the solutions be made public?

Divisibility by 5 and lowerbound 5m and upperbound 55m
