Its ok as i know that you will fix the problem soon. This is what i like about codechef the most :slight_smile:

This guy is new on codechef . You guys could have told him this without the downvotes. I dont think this is a good way to welcome somone to the community.

Mail codechef about this and they may update the test cases as they have done a few times earlier :)…your roommate will be surely mad at you :stuck_out_tongue:

I solved the question by O(4*n), and the code is not short.
Unbelievable, there are many people got AC by the wrong algorithm, and with only 2 line code?!
I was so sad to know about that. QwQ

I even commented this on the problem statement page, whether or not all B[i] have to be used and as you can expect no admin, setter, tester replied. This is sad, problem statement is not clear :frowning:

@ashwanigautam I too have asked this question 4 days ago in problem statement page and have tagged the admin and the author. Inspite of all that no reply yet.

Lol . That was not discussion bro . He was highly ecstatic when his solution of CHEFTET was accepted within 10 mins of solving the 2nd question , and he told me the approach , and said how dumb the question was and unnecessarily the language was made hard . I had seen the question the previous day and had another approach in mind , and that is why when he told me the approach , I figured out several test cases where that solution is bound to fail :slight_smile: And now he is mad at me xD

Yeah definitely the problem statement is so milsleading that it took me 20 submissions to get AC and that too after referring this blog post. Thanks!! I dont know how both the problem setter and tester didnt notice the fault in the problem statement.

If more test cases is added it should be done as soon as possible, so there is time left to submit a new correct solution, in case one’s approved solution is invalid.

31

Also the explanation for the second example case is wrong. I mentioned it in a comment 2 days ago but the comment hasn’t been published nor has the example been fixed. I would fix it myself if I could.

32

Well, yeah, the cases are really weak. A two line solution of mine passed.

33

@admin test cases for 25 point for chefarc are really weak.I can provide you test cases on which my code should give WA but still works on yours :slight_smile:

34

2 lines code logic!! I wonder what those lines could be…

35

After 3 days of this post Codechef should have done something, but still I cannot see any changes in the problem statement or rejudgement of solutions.

Even I commented the same on the problem statement page along with a test case. I have even figured out the probable test cases set by the admins of this particular problem. No response received yet on my comment.

37

@admin assured us that he will look into the matter . I doubt the cases will be changed now .

38

Hahahhaa :stuck_out_tongue: You don’t have to wait too long . 5 more days to go xD

For partial points , the test cases may be weak . OK , many will be fine with it , but for 100 ??? Are you kidding me? -_-

Will the test cases be ever updated I don’t know what’s talking so long. It would be really helpful if you update test cases ASAP as if one’s solution fail he can review and resubmit his code not like a LTIME where testcases were updated after the contest.
