this is what i understood, the first integer in the first line represents how many cases there are, and the second integer in the first line represents how many cases we need to get solved.

to "solve" a case you need to have enough witnesses (third line) that cover the requirements (second line). but then also u can use the unused witnesses from some cases as witnesses in other cases

the logic perfectly works out in the first and second example but the third one just doesnt make any sense. any ideas?

It's an ongoing contest. Not only helping with it is against fair play, it's against the rules of this server - additionally, we are not even able to watch the page you've sent through the link

(Understanding the question is part of the contest, too)

it ended

a long time ago

im only solving these problems to improve my skills

[brazen verge]

Eh, so it's just code forces being weird

Either way we can't access it through this link

[calm nest]

is it okay if i screenshot it

as i said, the first two examples make perfect sense using the logic that im working with, but the last one is just destroying any form of comprehension i initially had

just saying leetcode style stuff like this is a pretty terrible way to improve as an programmer

[calm nest]

doesnt it force u to improve ur problem solving

[past oxide]

eh a bit, but it's one of the worst ways

a much better way is to actually make projects

[brazen verge]

Uhh no idea about the task

[calm nest]

ill keep that in mind i guess 😭

[brazen verge]

I have no idea what they mean by that

[calm nest]

damn

[brazen verge]

Competitive programming is fun, but it does not really correspond to good programming skills

[calm nest]

well that aside

[brazen verge]

It's good to practice data structures and algorithms, to understand how they work

[calm nest]

i didnt take dsa yet

[past oxide]

yeah this is extremely badly worded

[calm nest]

anyways if anyone knows something then id really appreciate it

[worn finch]

imo this one isn't worth trying to understand

[worn finch]

I believed you and then I read it. Holy fuck that is terrible

I honestly don't see how the examples even make sense

[past oxide]

Im just reading it and my brain went like the fuck

[worn finch]

I wonder if they have any quality control on these things
