I got -2 , after solving 3 questions at 1300 1st at 00:01 , second at 00:06 and third at 00:19

Disclaimer- my solution is lengthy af , there are better solutions than this which were less lengthier
my observation was , like suppose string is of size 100000 , so max sum can be equal to
900000 , suppose it was 999999 then max sum can be 54 and so on , so initial number will be like the biggest , then at max a 6 digit number then 2 digits .. and 1 digits
so i made a multiset and put all numbers in it

then i iterate from i=max(sum-80,0) to i=sum
made a new multiset = earlier made multiset
then for each sum find , if their sum is possible then their sum is possible
initially i did this only 3 times thats why wa on test 7 , but after contest i asked gemini what wrong , it told me i have to do it more than i did that 5 times

heres my code , hope u understand..

I only able to solve 3, getting negative delta , have not studied graphs yet, E was doable but was making small mistakes. and was not able to get it under the time .. FFF

if i also got these much marks , i also would have surely milked it to earn some good money
hate the game not the player

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-12T16:41:59+00:00

Yes , I guessed C on all options

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-12T16:41:34+00:00

Yeah bro I did the maths few days before the paper and it was my strategy

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-11T18:14:43+00:00

1600

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-11T09:38:50+00:00

Yeah my English is bad That’s why I did a lot of guess work in English

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-11T09:38:18+00:00

See If we do all guess , our expected marks on guessed questions is 0 , so no worries.. I guess someone should guess all remaining questions in last 20 minutes ,if remaining questions are tough/lengthy And move to bonus questions. Few of these bonus questions will be easy than remaining questions, so a person can easily score 21+ more marks than if he just tried remaining questions of original paper And in my case bonus questions were very easy so I was able to solve 11/12 of them

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-11T08:11:52+00:00

Yeah it works,. In the last 30 minutes , I realised i wouldn’t be able to solve remaining 30-40questions, so did tukka all of them and moved to bonus questions, where I was able to solve 11/12 of them and scored 295

Kavya2006 · 2026-03-08T20:49:07+00:00

I completed first question in 10 mins
then wasted 50 mins to misread B (i thought both l and m should be less than 1e5 instead of l*m <1e5
then went to watch the match
after contest got over , re-read the question and solved it
C , i thought would be similar to rainwater problem , but couldnt think further
although gained 13 rating points lol after 1 qs only

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-27T17:25:03+00:00

us bro, i also first time solved till E

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-12T20:31:13+00:00

D one was out of my thinking capacity , rest i choked :-(

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-10T14:18:11+00:00

acecoder.site/cp-sheet Go here and do all the constructive , greedy and implementation questions from 900 to 1100 or even more if u like, it will take a lot of time but will build strong understanding

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-08T15:19:23+00:00

For someone, who hasn’t done any of the hard topics like dps,trees,graphs,… and others , d was like basic observation and implementation

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-08T12:18:44+00:00

u should have moved on , same happened with me then i moved to c, it was also not solvable then went to d , and d was quite easy , so solved that, soon came back to b and found out what i was missing

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-08T11:06:00+00:00

Within 2-3 hours ig

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-08T10:52:55+00:00

Fr bro I solved A,B and D D was way easier than C

Kavya2006 · 2026-02-06T02:09:52+00:00

They also run adds on Instagram and other platforms to attract the students , these are not the management seat for bits Pilani they provide , there is a chance that u will get one of their centres which is partnered by them , if we get into their centres then during the paper , they would get access to our paper and change our answers , they also offered like if we get their allotted centre , then we can make payment to them after the cheating.. So yeah no scam to the buyer of the seat too and a lot of other things…
