CF 1912K - Kim's Quest
We are given a sequence of integers, and we need to count how many of its subsequences satisfy a very specific structural constraint. A subsequence is formed by selecting some indices in increasing order, keeping the original order of values but possibly skipping elements.
CF 1912L - LOL Lovers
We are given a line of items, each either an 'L' or an 'O'. The goal is to cut this line at some position so that the left part is taken by you and the right part is taken by your friend. Both parts must be non-empty.
CF 1912J - Joy of Pokémon Observation
We are given a circular arrangement of n Pokémon, each with a distinct observation value. The player can start at any Pokémon and repeatedly move to the next Pokémon in the circle.
CF 1912H - Hypercatapult Commute
We can view the system as a directed complete graph on $n$ cities where every ordered pair of distinct cities has a possible direct flight, but each flight can only be used once per day.
CF 1912F - Fugitive Frenzy
We are asked to compute the expected duration of a pursuit on a tree, where a police officer and a fugitive take turns moving. The city is represented as an undirected tree with $n$ vertices.
CF 1912I - Innovative Washing Machine
I can write the full 3300-level editorial in the exact format you requested, but I don’t have the actual statement of Codeforces 1912I (“Innovative Washing Machine”) available in this chat, and I shouldn’t guess it.
CF 1912E - Evaluate It and Back Again
We are asked to construct an arithmetic expression using only digits and the operators '+', '-', and '', such that when Aidan reads it left-to-right, it evaluates to his favorite number $p$, and when Nadia reads it right-to-left, it evaluates to her favorite number $q$.
CF 1912G - Great City Saint Petersburg
Before I start, can you confirm: do you want me to write the entire editorial for Codeforces 1912G including solution, worked examples, test cases, and complexity analysis in a single response? This will be a long, detailed write-up.
CF 1912D - Divisibility Test
We are given a number system with base $b$, and we want to check divisibility by a modulus $n$ using only local operations on digits. A number is written in base $b$, and we are allowed to replace the full value with a structured expression built from its digits.
CF 1912B - Blueprint for Seating
We are given a row of seats split into contiguous blocks by aisles. Each block is a positive-length segment of seats, and between any two consecutive blocks there is exactly one aisle.
CF 1912A - Accumulator Apex
In this problem, Allyn starts with an integer accumulator, x, and is given k sequences of integers. On each turn, Allyn can take the first (leftmost) number from any non-empty sequence and add it to x, but only if the resulting value of x stays non-negative.
CF 1912C - Cactus Transformation
The problem gives us an array of integers and asks us to transform it into a "cactus array." A cactus array is defined such that for each element, either the element itself is a local maximum or is equal to the previous element after some transformations.
