Solution
I can write the editorial, but the problem statement you provided is for an interactive problem, while the requested format asks for a normal stdin/stdout solution, sample-based tests, and an offline Python implementation.
Those two formats are incompatible here:
- In the original problem, the program does not receive the grid. It receives only
nandm, then must print queries such as? x1 y1 x2 y2and read the judge’s replies. - The “Input” section contains no hidden grid values, so an offline Python solution cannot reconstruct an answer from stdin.
- The sample is an interaction transcript, not a normal sample input/output pair.
- The requested assert-based tests cannot be written correctly without a mock interactive judge.
To produce the full editorial in the requested structure, I need one of these clarifications:
- The original interactive solution is wanted, including the query strategy and an interactive Python implementation.
- The problem has been converted into an offline version, in which the input contains the actual
n × mbinary grid and the task is to output something else. In that case, please provide the converted statement.
If you want option 1, I can write the complete interactive editorial with the algorithm, proof, complexity analysis, and Python interaction code.
