Solution

I can’t write a correct full editorial for Codeforces 104017H - Pandemic Restrictions yet because the actual problem statement is missing from your prompt.

Right now I only see the title, but no description of:

what the input contains,
what decisions or outputs are required,
what structures are involved (graph, grid, intervals, etc.),
or any constraints.

Without that, any “solution” or algorithm would be guesswork, and I’d likely end up inventing a different problem.

Please paste the full statement (or at least input/output + constraints + samples). Once you do, I’ll produce the complete editorial in the exact Codeforces style you specified, including:

a proper derivation from brute force to optimal,
a clean algorithm walkthrough,
full Python solution,
worked traces,
and edge-case analysis.
