We are given a function applied to every integer from 1 up to a limit $n$, and for each integer we decide whether it contributes a value of 1 or 0. The final answer for each test case is the total number of integers in the range that satisfy a certain structural property.

We are given a line of elements, each carrying a positive cost equal to its value. We start with a fixed energy budget and want to delete elements from the line as long as we never go negative in energy. Two types of deletions are allowed.

We are given a process that takes an array and builds a new array by scanning indices from left to right. At each position, the current element is either pushed to the front of a growing result array or appended to its back depending only on whether the position is odd or even.

We are given a function defined on natural numbers. For a number $x$, we look at whether there exists an integer exponent $k 1$ such that $x^k$ is a rational number. The function $f(x)$ outputs 1 if such an exponent exists, otherwise it outputs 0.

We are given a calculator where every button is initially disabled. The buttons include digits from 0 to 9 and the four basic arithmetic operators plus an equals sign. Once we choose some subset of these buttons to activate, we are allowed to use them any number of times.

We are given a subtraction game played on a pile of balls. A state of the game is defined by the current number of balls, say $a$. On a player's turn, the allowed move size is determined by a function of the current state: compute the sum of digits of $a$, call it $x$.

We are given two arrays, both of length $n$, and a fixed target number $k$. The task is to count how many pairs of indices $(i, j)$ produce the property that the least common multiple of $ai$ and $bj$ is exactly $k$.

We are given a sequence of integers representing flavors placed on a line of layers. A valid interval is any contiguous subarray, but only some of these intervals are counted.

We are given a grid where each cell behaves like a piece of floor with a limited tolerance to being stepped on. Every friend starts at the top-left corner and tries to reach the bottom-right corner by moving only in four directions.

We are given a circular structure with a fixed number of positions around it. Between these positions, there are intervals marked by non-overlapping “retainer wires”, which effectively partition the circle into consecutive cleaning segments.

We are given a grid of size $n times m$, where each cell has a height value. Syrup is poured onto some starting cells, and from each starting point it spreads across the grid following a rule that depends on height and movement constraints.

We are working with nine-digit integers that represent possible configurations of Janise’s baklava layers. Each valid configuration is just an integer $N$ in the range from $100{,}000{,}000$ to $999{,}999{,}999$.

We start with a square pastry of side length $l$. Mila performs a repeated geometric construction: each round she draws a smaller square inside the current one using midpoints of its sides, producing a new, rotated, and strictly smaller square.

We are given two arrays of equal length. One array represents target quantities for different orders, and the other represents current quantities in prepared batches.

We are given a grid where each cell represents a piece of baklava that can tolerate a limited number of times being stepped on. Every friend starts at the top-left corner and tries to reach the bottom-right corner by moving one cell at a time in the four cardinal directions.

We are given two arrays of the same length. One array represents customer orders, where each value is the number of baklavas a customer wants. The other array represents how many baklavas are currently prepared in each batch.

We start with a square pastry of side length l. Mila repeatedly performs a geometric operation that replaces the current square with a smaller square formed by joining midpoints in a symmetric way.

We are looking at 9-digit numbers that represent possible baklava layer counts. Each such number is a valid configuration, so the search space is simply all integers from 100,000,000 to 999,999,999 inclusive. There are two conditions attached to a valid configuration.

We are given several independent bakery orders. Each order describes a stack of layers, where the first layer has some initial thickness and every next layer becomes exactly one unit thicker than the previous one.

We are given a set of directions on a circle, each direction representing a straight line passing through the origin. Each line is encoded as an angle in scaled form: instead of storing the angle directly, we are given an integer $ai$, and the actual angle is $ai / Q$ degrees.

We are given a graph of rooms connected by corridors. The structure is special: every room is reachable from every other room, there is at most one corridor between any pair of rooms, and there are no cycles except those that are forced by traversing the same path forward and…

I can’t responsibly write a correct Codeforces editorial yet because the actual problem statement for 104836D - “Идеальная турнирная система” is not available in the provided context, and it is not something I can reliably reconstruct from memory…

We are given two movie franchises, each with multiple screening start times. Each screening has a fixed duration, so every start time implicitly defines a full interval on the time axis.

We are given a standard $n times n$ chessboard where the top-left square is colored black and colors alternate perfectly both horizontally and vertically. This creates the usual checkerboard pattern. The task is to determine how many squares of size $1 times 1$ are white.

We are given a rectangular grid that represents a partially observed battlefield for a simplified Battleship-like game. Each cell of the grid can be in one of three states: it is either known to be empty water, known to contain a ship segment, or unknown.

We are given a set of words, all distinct, and a directed system of allowed replacements between them. Each replacement rule says that one word can be substituted by another, and this process can be repeated any number of times, following chains of replacements.

We are given several strings, and we are allowed to reorder them and glue them together into a single long string. When we glue two strings, we are not simply concatenating them blindly.

We are given a collection of intervals on the line from 1 to n. Each interval contributes to a symmetric n by n matrix in a very specific way: for any pair of indices x and y, we count how many of the given intervals simultaneously cover both x and y, and that count becomes…

We are asked to design a custom integer encoding system for a fixed bit-based format. Each number is encoded using a leading 4-bit selector, followed by zero to four additional 4-bit groups.

Each card in this problem belongs to a lane and has two independent attributes: a rank from 1 to n, and a color which is either white or black. A lane is just a multiset of such cards.

We are given a group of people trying to cross a river using a very small boat. There are two types of people: cannibals and missionaries.

We are given a circular array of length $n$. Each position initially contains some number of items, and we are allowed to redistribute these items using a very specific local operation.

We are given a very large integer, but instead of treating it as a number, we should think of it as a multiset of decimal digits. Bomboslav removes all digits from the cheque and wants to reassemble them into a new integer using every digit exactly once.

We are given a line of $n$ boxes and several initial configurations of $m$ identical stones distributed across them. Each configuration is simply an array of $n$ nonnegative integers whose sum is fixed to $m$.

We are looking at integers written in decimal form, but the key constraint is not about their numeric value alone. Each number is interpreted as a string, and every contiguous block of digits inside that string is turned back into an integer by stripping leading zeros.

The game simulates a basketball match where two teams each start with five active players and five substitutes. Over time, two things happen: players are swapped between the court and the bench, and scoring events occur.

We are given two points on an integer grid. Both the starting point and the destination lie strictly away from the coordinate axes, meaning neither coordinate is zero at either endpoint. Such points are called free points.

We are given a sequence of bytes, each written as a two-digit hexadecimal number, so each value lies in the range from 0 to 255.

We maintain a very large array indexed up to $10^9$, but only the first $n$ positions are initially non-zero. All remaining positions are implicitly zero. Each position holds a 30-bit integer. There are two operations. First, we can update a single position to a new value.

We are given several chests, each containing a certain number of coins. Two friends want to split coins so that each chest ultimately contributes equally to both of them, but a chest can only be “cashed out” if its coin count is even.

We are given two types of books. There are A math books and B programming books. Each math book contributes X new facts, and each programming book contributes Y new facts.

We are simulating a randomized “sock pairing” process after a wash. All socks are grouped by color, and within each color the socks are indistinguishable. The process repeatedly removes a random sock from the machine.

We are given an integer array. We must increase exactly one element by 1 and then check whether the resulting array is not a palindrome. The task is to decide whether such a choice of position exists. An array is palindromic when every element matches its mirrored counterpart.
