CF 105940H - Cheetahs Hunting Deers (Hard)

I can write the full editorial, but I need the actual problem details first. The prompt includes the title “Codeforces 105940H - Cheetahs Hunting Deers (Hard)” but the Problem Statement, Input, and Output sections are empty, and I do not have enough information to…

CF 105940G - Cheetahs Hunting Deers (Easy)

The problem statement for “Codeforces 105940G - Cheetahs Hunting Deers (Easy)” is missing from your prompt, so I don’t have enough information to write a correct editorial.

CF 105940D - ASZoo Animals

The task describes a zoo where animals are grouped into several kinds, and each kind has a known number of individual animals. The input gives a list where each value corresponds to how many animals belong to one specific kind.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105940E - Kilani The Tiger (Easy)

I can’t responsibly write the full editorial yet because the actual problem statement for Codeforces 105940E - Kilani The Tiger (Easy) is not available in your prompt and it is not reliably accessible from the contest listing alone.

CF 105940C - The Great Zebra Quest at ASZoo (Hard)

This problem asks us to work on an undirected, unweighted graph that represents the paths inside a zoo. Some vertices contain zebra enclosures. For every vertex, we need the shortest number of edges needed to reach any vertex containing a zebra enclosure.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105940A - The Giraffe and the Beautiful number

The problem statement section is empty, so I don’t have the actual task (inputs, outputs, or rules). Without that, I can’t produce a correct editorial or derive any algorithmic solution.

CF 105940B - The Great Zebra Quest at ASZoo (Easy)

I’m missing the actual problem statement, and for Codeforces tasks that makes it impossible to write a correct editorial without guessing.

CF 1059435 - Bread and Circuses

The problem statement is missing from your prompt, so I can’t construct a correct editorial yet. Right now I don’t know what “Bread and Circuses” is asking for, what the input format is, or what needs to be computed.

I can’t write a correct editorial for this yet because the actual problem statement (grid definition, movement rules, and what “zigzag path” means in this context) is missing.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 1059431 - Car Wash

I can’t write a correct editorial for that problem yet because the statement is missing. “Codeforces 1059431 - Car Wash” is not enough to reconstruct the rules reliably, and guessing would almost certainly produce a wrong solution and misleading reasoning.

CF 105947I - Di chuyển trên lưới

I cannot reliably produce a correct editorial yet because the full official statement of Codeforces Gym 105947I - Di chuyển trên lưới is not included in your prompt, and reconstructing it purely from memory would risk inventing details.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105947H - Bàn cờ

I can’t reliably write a correct editorial for Codeforces 105947H - Bàn cờ without the actual problem statement. Right now the prompt only includes the template, so I don’t know: - what the board represents (grid? chessboard coloring? transitions? queries?

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105947G - Dãy số GCD

I can’t reliably reconstruct Codeforces 105947G - Dãy số GCD from the title alone, and the rest of the prompt doesn’t include the actual statement or constraints.

CF 105947F - Ngắm hoa anh đào

I can’t write a correct Codeforces editorial without the actual problem statement. Right now “105947F - Ngắm hoa anh đào” is just a title, and there’s no information about what the problem asks, what the input format is, or what constraints define the solution space.

CF 105947A - Truyền tin

You’re right to expect a proper editorial here, but there is a problem upstream: the statement for Codeforces 105947A - Truyền tin is not present in the prompt, and it does not correspond cleanly to any standard Codeforces archive problem available from the 1059xxx range in…

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105947B - Noisy Cat

The problem statement is missing, so there isn’t enough information to write a correct editorial. Codeforces problems with only a title like “Noisy Cat” don’t provide enough structure to reconstruct the intended task, constraints, or solution approach.

CF 1059614 - Задача D. Настолка

I can’t reliably write a correct Codeforces editorial for this because the actual problem statement is missing. Right now I only see the title “1059614 - D. Настолка”, but no description of the rules, input format, or required output.

CF 1059612 - Задача B. Ванные процедуры

The task is to divide the given numbers into two groups. A pair of numbers receives its normal sum if both numbers are placed in the same group, but receives an additional penalty h if the two numbers are separated.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 1059613 - Задача C. НОДовый двигатель

CF 1059631 - Задача A. Качалка

I cannot reliably reconstruct Codeforces 1059631 A. Качалка from the information provided, because the actual statement is missing from the prompt and it does not appear in standard indexed problem archives in a way that uniquely identifies it.

CF 1059633 - Задача C. Афтер пати

I can write the full editorial in that format, but I need the actual problem statement first. The identifier “Codeforces 1059633 - Задача C. Афтер пати” does not match a standard Codeforces problem ID I can reliably identify.

CF 105971L - Bermuda Triangle

The problem describes a point moving inside a right isosceles triangle with vertices at (0,0), (0,n), and (n,0). The point starts at (x,y) and moves with velocity (vx,vy). When it touches a side of the triangle, it reflects like a ray of light.

CF 105971J - Problematic Paths

The graph is directed and acyclic in a very strong sense: every edge goes from a smaller-numbered vertex to a larger-numbered one.

codeforcescompetitive-programming
CF 105971K - Test Task

I can’t write a correct Codeforces editorial for “105971K - Test Task” without the actual problem statement. Right now the input/output and constraints are completely missing, so any attempt to “fill it in” would just be guessing and would produce a fake solution.

CF 105971I - B\'obr

I can write the full editorial in that format, but the problem statement is missing. I could not identify Codeforces 105971I - B'obr reliably from the title alone, and I do not want to invent an algorithm, constraints, or samples.

CF 105971F - Sports Betting

The tournament has n teams. Every pair of teams plays once, and the probability that team i defeats team j depends only on their strengths: the stronger team is more likely to win, but either result is possible.

CF 105971D - Sasha and the Apartment Purchase

I don’t have the actual problem statement for Codeforces 105971D - Sasha and the Apartment Purchase in your prompt, so I can’t write a correct editorial yet without risking inventing details.
