We are given a simple undirected graph with up to 300 vertices, where each input edge is guaranteed to exist and no duplicates appear. The graph represents travel routes between countries.

We are given a rectangular grid with $n$ rows and $m$ columns. Each cell contains an integer, and the only operation allowed is to permute values independently inside each column.

We are given an array of size $2n$ representing fighting strengths of $2n$ friends. The task is to split them into two disjoint teams so that every person belongs to exactly one team, and both teams must contain an odd number of members.

We are asked to look at every permutation of numbers from 1 to n, compute how many inversions each permutation contains, and then sum those inversion counts over all permutations.

We are given a string and multiple independent queries. Each query specifies a segment of the string, and we are only allowed to look inside that segment.

We are asked to construct a special kind of permutation of size n. A permutation here means we arrange the numbers from 1 to n exactly once each. The twist is that the permutation must behave like an involution without fixed points.

We are given a starting integer and a deterministic process that repeatedly transforms it. At each step, we take the current number, reverse its decimal representation, average the two values, and round the result down to an integer.

Let the triangle have consecutive integer side lengths.

Each test case describes a very small “production system” that assembles gold cubes from three types of nuggets. Every nugget type has a fixed weight in milligrams, and we are also given a maximum available count for each type.

We are given several independent road segments, each containing a set of existing painted crosswalk stripes. Every stripe is described by its starting position and its width, so each one occupies a continuous interval on a number line. These stripes may overlap or leave gaps.

We are given a geometric construction that can be reinterpreted as a graph problem. There are two families of segments.

We are given a rectangular grid of $n times m$ cells, and we must assign each cell one of two colors. The coloring must satisfy two global conditions at the same time. First, exactly half of the cells must be black and the other half white.

The page is drawn with a fixed set of horizontal guide lines, equally spaced one centimeter apart, and a set of vertical guide lines placed at arbitrary x-coordinates.

We are given a network of villages connected by roads, where each road is initially unusable and becomes usable only after a certain number of hours. All roads “unlock” in parallel according to their own schedules. Once a road is unlocked, it can be used permanently.

We are simulating a system that holds a single countdown timer whose initial value is random. At time zero, the timer is set to a uniformly chosen integer between 1 and T. Time then advances in discrete seconds. Every second, the timer decreases by one.

We are given a complete bipartite setup with two groups of size $n$, which we can think of as left vertices indexed by $i$ and right vertices indexed by $j$. An edge between $i$ and $j$ exists only when the XOR of their values, $ai oplus bj$, is at least $k$.

We are given a non-negative integer and asked to express it as a sum of powers of two, but instead of standard binary digits, each bit position can take the value −1, 0, or 1. The contribution of position i is ai · 2^i, and the total sum must equal the given number.

We are given a sequence of goods, each with three attributes: a weight, an initial volume, and a compression factor. We must arrange all goods in a single stack. Once stacked, each item’s final volume is reduced depending on how much total weight is placed above it.

Two players start with piles of chips. In each round they either have no change in position (a draw) or exactly one of them wins the round. A win is not just a point, it can immediately end the game if the winner already has at least as many chips as the opponent.

We are tracking a single evolving value, the rating of a user. The rating starts at a fixed initial value, 1500, and then changes after each of n upcoming contests.

We are given an undirected, connected graph of rooms and passages. Sneaker starts at room 1 and wants to reach room n using as few passages as possible. The graph is simple in the sense that there are no self-loops and no multiple edges between the same pair of rooms.

Each team belongs to a university and has a fixed strength. Inside any contest, all participating teams are ranked strictly by strength, so stronger teams always appear ahead of weaker ones.

We are given a rooted tree where node 1 acts as the root, and each node stores an integer weight. The structure of the tree stays fixed, but the weights change over time due to updates.

We are building an array step by step. At each operation, a new value is appended to the end of the array. After each insertion, we must compute a running expression that depends on all suffixes ending at the current position and on a special prefix-suffix overlap value.

We are given a single integer $n$ per test case, and we want to choose two different numbers $a$ and $b$ in the range $[1, n]$. The constraint is that the binary representations of $a$ and $b$ must not share any position where both have a 1, meaning their bitwise AND is zero.

We are working on a rooted tree where every node initially holds value zero. Over time, we apply updates that either affect entire subtrees or only the immediate children of a node, and we also need to answer queries asking for maximum values over subtrees or over children sets.

We are given an array $a$ of size $n$. We want to count how many distinct multisets of size $n$ over values $1$ to $n$ can appear as follows. Imagine we construct an array $b$ of length $n$, where values are in the range $[1,n]$.

We are given an array and asked to look at every contiguous subarray. For each subarray, we compute a value called the MAD, which is the largest number that appears at least twice inside that subarray. If no number repeats, the MAD is zero.

We are given several independent test cases. In each test case there is a collection of pairs of numbers. Each pair behaves like a small container holding two values, and we are allowed to repeatedly perform operations that either destroy a container while collecting a…

In the buddy system, the buddy of a block of size $2^k$ is obtained by complementing bit $k$ of the block's starting address, counting the least significant bit as bit $0$.

The buddy system can be adapted to a memory of size $M$ that is not a power of two by partitioning the memory into the largest possible blocks whose sizes are powers of two.

The criticism of this idea is that it conflates typical usage patterns with the correctness and generality of the buddy system.

Doubly linking the `AVAIL[k]` lists in the buddy system allows a block to be removed from the list without traversing from the head.

The buddy system depends on the invariant that every free block has size $2^k$ and begins at an address aligned for a block of that size.

In formula (9), `AVAIL` serves as the header of the circular list of available blocks.
