  • Contest Format: 7 OI-style tasks (tasks have subtasks) in 3 hours.
  • There is no time penalty for non-accepted verdicts; however, time will be used as the tiebreak.
  • The contest is rated for both divisions (all ratings).
  • There may or may not be interactive questions.
  • The writers are @smjleo , @astoria and @kimbj0709.

Thanks for the contest, the problems were really nice! Especially liked the idea behind Efficient Delivery.

Any hints for Binary Puzzle? I feel like it will somehow the use the fact that cnt of numbers in the range [0, 2^n - 1] with odd and even bits are equal, using 0 and 2^n - 1 (only numbers with their bit count) to handle odd length in some manner but can’t get an exact logic.

I suggest you to not frame such misleading questions like the “Hidden Numbers” Question because after the contest ended I literally saw some answers being accepted with only 1,number

22

What’s misleading in it? That’s what you’re supposed to do.
