How do you solve Musical Chairs? We spent the last hour on this problem but were unable to think of any way to cleanly code it. It felt like just maintaining the segments but it didn’t feel like there was a simple way to eliminate the case work.

growing xor tree question is copied from cf (icm technex):laughing:

Can you share the link? Please check once again :upside_down_face:
There is difference in both the questions. Here operation is XOR whereas there operation is addition which totally changes the direction of solution towards persistent trie.

i know , but idea is same , instead of binary search we are required to use presistent trie. I hope there will be original problems in next round.

#15

Very true … Instead of persistent Segtree persistent Trie is used … :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

#16

Please give the editorials for the contest. The problems are so nice and I really want to up-solve them.

I was author of the problem Growing Xor Tree and here is the technex problem I think u r talking about and yes after solving this I got idea of growing xor tree … https://codeforces.com/contest/932/problem/D … but does solving This one helps in solving other or vice versa ? I think technex problem is easier to solve then this… technex uses LCA (I solved via using LCA twice) and ours use Persistent Trie… Language is same but that doesnt qualify as copying as multiple questions can be based on same assumptions. And atlast, its just hard at this level to make questions… I am weak theory wise and just good-good in cp… Most of the hardest problem are created by changing few of things and thinking if is it solvable? btw nice observation there.
