Author’s solution seems incorrect ( I am 99.99% sure) for Kth Numbers.
No one is replying to comments about this issue. :frowning:
@jafarbadour @teja349 @kingofnumbers @kal013
Can anyone find any issue in this solution CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone ?
Edit :
Added comment 2.5 hours ago (8:29 pm) about this issue. Still no reply.
So I assume contest won’t be unrated and problem will be correct.
Please help me in finding bug.

First subtask seems wrong for kth numbers. My code gives WA if i exit before reading n for 10th testcase and gives SIGABRT if i read n for 10th case?

Can anybody tell me what’s wrong with this solution for first subtask? CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone I’ve stress-tested with another one that got it and found no wrong case.

My solution uses naive multiplication on smaller testcases and passes. Most probably there would be a bug in your code.

12

tagging yourself ? XD \hspace{0mm}

13

Mine is simple brute force. :pensive:

16

Same here. I did brute force for this formula.

I kept getting WA on the small test case. In fact, I tried asserts and it seems that there is an issue with test cases. I tried A_i\ge -10^9 and it gave SIGABRT!

Did anyone get the first subtask right ?

21

Same happened to me, I think. I don’t know FFT and other stuff but, CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone this O(n*n) solution should pass the first test case. Isn’t it?

25

Yes, scoreboard also has problems. Check the ranks 102, 115 and 127. @admin

My solution passed for first subtask in the contest only but why my submission is removed I got AC on first subtask in the contest I wasted my 2 hours on single problem only and Now that submission is removed why?? This rejudging criterion is ridiculous why people can’t bugless and fully tested problems for such a great contest rejudging after the contest tells us that sometime before you were right I joyed but later on when I saw the solution removed completely disgusting situation by codechef
