This contest should be made unrated. The solution written in the editorial for VTAR is wrong, and I believe no proper solution is found for this problem. As far as I checked, all the accepted submissions are wrong as well. This is utterly unfair for those who was aware that the solution is wrong, and I believe that this affected many contestants. To make it fair, it would be best to make this contest unrated.
