CF 102968A - Perfect Alliance

We are given a directed graph of tribes, where each tribe is a node and some directed roads already exist between them. The goal is to make the entire graph strongly connected, meaning every tribe must be able to reach every other tribe following directed roads.

CF 102978H - Harsh Comments

A clutter in ${0,1,dots,n}$ is exactly an antichain in the Boolean lattice: a family $mathcal C$ of subsets such that no two distinct members satisfy $alpha subset beta$. The size vector $(M0,M1,dots,Mn)$ records how many members of $mathcal C$ lie in each level $binom{[n]}{t}$.

CF 102978I - Inverse Problem

We are given a permutation of numbers from $1$ to $N$, but instead of the permutation itself, we are asked to count how many such permutations have a very specific structural property involving a fixed sequence $X$ of length $M$.

CF 102978G - Games

We are given a fixed set of pile sizes $A1, A2, dots, AN$. From this set we construct a starting position consisting of $K$ piles, where each pile independently chooses one value from the array. So a configuration is just a length-$K$ sequence, and every entry is one of the $Ai$.
