Solution
I don’t have the actual problem statement for Codeforces 103503C - Plates in your prompt, so I can’t reliably reconstruct the intended solution or write a correct editorial.
Given how tightly Codeforces problems depend on their exact rules, even small missing details (what a “plate” is, what operations are allowed, what must be optimized) completely change the algorithmic direction. Any attempt to guess would risk producing a misleading or incorrect editorial.
If you paste the full problem statement (or even just the key rules and constraints), I can immediately turn it into a complete, Codeforces-style editorial in the exact format you requested.
