Welcome to the fifth week of competitive programming of the Fall of 2024! Today’s problem solving session isn’t focused on a particular topic, but it will include a mix of problems whose solutions need ideas from the topics we covered in the past weeks.
Before reading a problem, read its accompanying description available below. Work through the problems one by one, i.e. don’t try working on B before solving A, C before solving A, etc.
But first, if this is your first time ever in one of our competitive programming sessions, please follow the instruction on our new introduction guide to get started. Once you’re done, feel free to come back here.
