Read $t$, the number of test cases. 2. For each test case: - Read $a, b, c$. - Sort them so $a \le b \le c$. - If $a + b > c$, output $a + b + c$. - Otherwise, output $2 \cdot (a + b) - 1$. ### Proof of Correctness **Why only shorten $c$?** Since the triangle inequality only involves $a + b$ vs $c$, shortening $a$ or $b$ makes $a + b$ even smaller, making the inequality harder to satisfy or reducing the perimeter more than necessary. Shortening $c$ is strictly better. **Why $c' = a + b - 1$?** We need $a + b > c'$. The largest integer $c'$ satisfying this is $a + b - 1$. Since we want to maximize the perimeter, we should cut $c$ as little as possible, i.e., to the largest value that still works. **Why does this give the global maximum?** Any valid triangle from cuts has sides $a' \le a$, $b' \le b$, $c' \le c$ with $a' + b' > c'$. The perimeter is $a' + b' + c' < a' + b' + (a' + b') = 2(a' + b') \le 2(a + b)$. Our construction achieves $2(a + b) - 1$, which is at most $1$ less than this upper bound — and in the $a + b > c$ case we achieve the absolute maximum $a + b + c$. ### Complexity $O(1)$ per test case, $O(t)$ total. Uses 64-bit integers since perimeters can reach up to $3 \times 10^9$, exceeding 32-bit signed range.66:T454,The two strings are already equal, so no operation is needed. ` It is impossible to perform any operation, because the only character of $S$ is $0$.

To change position $p$, we must flip some prefix of length at least $p$. But since $p$ is the last differing position, no operation on a prefix longer than $p$ can be used, because it would also alter later positions that already match. Therefore, we must perform the operation exactly on prefix $p$. That requires the initial value of $S_p$ to be $1$. ### Constructing the Operations First, determine which prefixes need to be flipped; call these the **good prefixes**. Then repeatedly do the following: - Perform the operation on the first good prefix such that $S_i = 1$ - After this, all good prefixes to its left will have their corresponding bits changed to $1$ - Now these prefixes can be processed from left to right. Since every chosen good prefix satisfies $S_i=1$ when it is used, all required operations can be performed. After applying all of them, $S$ becomes equal to $T$.69:T456,First, consider the edges adjacent to vertex $n$. For every vertex $v$ adjacent to $n$, if Bob is currently at $v$, Alice should block the edge between $v$ and $n$, since otherwise Bob could immediately move to $n$. We want to compute $ans_v$ for every vertex $v$, where $ans_v$ represents the largest vertex Bob can guarantee reaching when starting from $v$. The final answer is $ans_1$. We maintain three states for each vertex: - 0 — not visited yet - 1 — the edge Alice would block has been determined - 2 — $ans_v$ has already been computed Now iterate through the vertices from $n$ down to $1$. Suppose we are currently processing vertex $v$. Assign $state_v=2$ and $ans_v=v$, then run a BFS starting from $v$ using the following transitions: For each vertex $u$ adjacent to $v$: - if $state_u=0$ set $state_u = 1$ - if $state_u=1$ set $state_u = 2$; $ans_u=ans_v$ and add $u$ to the queue The intuition is that once a vertex has been reached twice through different edges, Alice can block only one of them, so Bob can still force movement toward a vertex with the same guaranteed answer.6a:T6ee,For the only prefix, we start with an empty set. First, we insert $0$, so $S=\{0\}$. Then we use the operation and insert $\operatorname{mex}(S)=1$. Now $S=\{0,1\}$, so the final mex is $2$. ` For the prefix $[1]$, after inserting $1$, we use the operation and insert $0$. The final set contains $0$ and $1$, so the score is $2$. For the prefix $[1,0]$, first insert $1$, then use the operation to insert $0$. After that, the array also inserts $0$. The final set contains $0$ and $1$, so the score is $2$. For the prefix $[1,0,3]$, first insert $1$, then insert $0$. After that, use the operation and insert $2$. Finally, insert $3$. The final set contains $0,1,2,3$, so the score is $4$. For the prefix $[1,0,3,2]$, the same operation after inserting $0$ gives $2$. The final set contains $0,1,2,3$, so the score is $4$. ` For the full prefix $[0,2,1,0,4]$, use the first operation after inserting $0$ to insert $1$. Then insert $2$ from the array. Use the second operation to insert $3$. Finally, the array inserts $4$. The final set contains $0,1,2,3,4$, so the score is $5$. ` For the prefix $[3,3,0]$, after inserting the first $3$, use one operation to insert $0$. After inserting the second $3$, use another operation to insert $1$. After inserting $0$, use the last operation to insert $2$. The final set contains $0,1,2,3$, so the score is $4$. ` For the full prefix $[1,2,0,4,3,6,5]$, use the operations after inserting the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th elements. After inserting $0$, the set contains $0,1,2$, so the operation inserts $3$. After inserting $4$, the operation inserts $5$. After inserting $6$, the operation inserts $7$. After inserting $5$, the operation inserts $8$. So the final set contains all numbers from $0$ to $8$, and the score is $9$.6b:T756,The DFS orders are $(1,2,4,3)$ and $(1,3,2,4)$. Vertex $3$ is never the third vertex, so no pair of the form $(3,j)$ is good. Vertex $2$ can be second after vertex $1$. Vertex $4$ can be fourth after all smaller vertices. Therefore the good pairs are $(2,1)$, $(4,1)$, $(4,2)$, and $(4,3)$. ` The DFS orders are $(1,2,4,5,3)$, $(1,2,5,4,3)$, $(1,3,2,4,5)$, and $(1,3,2,5,4)$. Vertex $3$ is never the third vertex. Vertex $4$ can be fourth in $(1,3,2,4,5)$, where vertices $1$, $2$, and $3$ are before it. Vertex $5$ can be fifth in $(1,3,2,4,5)$, where all smaller vertices are before it. Together with $(2,1)$, this gives $8$ good pairs. ` Vertex $4$ is never the fourth vertex. Vertex $3$ can be third, for example in $(1,2,3,4,5,6)$, but then among smaller vertices only vertex $1$ is before it. Vertex $5$ can be fifth after all smaller vertices, for example in $(1,3,4,2,5,6)$. Vertex $6$ can be sixth after all smaller vertices, for example in $(1,3,4,2,5,6)$. Therefore the answer is $1+1+4+5=11$. ` The DFS orders are $(1,2,4,5,3,6)$, $(1,2,5,4,3,6)$, $(1,3,6,2,4,5)$, and $(1,3,6,2,5,4)$. Vertex $3$ is never the third vertex. Vertex $4$ can be fourth only in orders starting with $(1,3,6,2)$, so only vertices $1$ and $2$ may be smaller vertices before it. Vertex $5$ can be fifth with vertices $1$, $2$, and $3$ before it. Vertex $6$ can be sixth after all smaller vertices, for example in $(1,2,4,5,3,6)$. Together with $(2,1)$, this gives $11$ good pairs. ` Every DFS order starts by completely visiting either the subtree of vertex $2$ or the subtree of vertex $3$. Therefore vertices $4$ and $5$ are never in their own numbered positions. Vertex $6$ can be sixth after all smaller vertices, for example in $(1,2,4,5,3,6,7)$. Vertex $7$ can be seventh after all smaller vertices, for example in $(1,2,4,5,3,6,7)$. Together with $(2,1)$, this gives $12$ good pairs.6c:Tc2c,#include #include "testlib.h" using namespace std; struct DSU { vector p, sz; DSU(int n = 0) { init(n); } void init(int n) { p.resize(n + 1); sz.assign(n + 1, 1); iota(p.begin(), p.end(), 0); } int find(int x) { if (p[x] == x) return x; return p[x] = find(p[x]); } void unite(int a, int b) { a = find(a); b = find(b); if (a == b) return; if (sz[a] < sz[b]) swap(a, b); p[b] = a; sz[a] += sz[b]; } }; bool possible(int n, const vector& l, const vector& r) { int m = (int)l.size(); if (n == 1) return true; vector ord(m); iota(ord.begin(), ord.end(), 0); sort(ord.begin(), ord.end(), [&](int a, int b) { if (l[a] != l[b]) return l[a] < l[b]; return r[a] < r[b]; }); priority_queue, vector>, greater>> pq; int ptr = 0; for (int k = 1; k <= n - 1; k++) { while (ptr < m && l[ord[ptr]] <= k) { int id = ord[ptr]; pq.push({r[id], id}); ptr++; } while (!pq.empty() && pq.top().first <= k) { pq.pop(); } if (pq.empty()) return false; pq.pop(); } return true; } string to_upper(string s) { for (char &c : s) c = char(toupper((unsigned char)c)); return s; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { registerTestlibCmd(argc, argv); int t = inf.readInt(); for (int tc = 1; tc <= t; tc++) { setTestCase(tc); int n = inf.readInt(); int m = inf.readInt(); vector l(m), v(m), r(m); for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { l[i] = inf.readInt(); v[i] = inf.readInt(); r[i] = inf.readInt(); } bool can = possible(n, l, r); string verdict = to_upper(ouf.readToken("[A-Za-z]+", "verdict")); if (verdict == "NO") { if (can) { quitf(_wa, "test case %d: contestant printed NO, but a solution exists", tc); } continue; } if (verdict != "YES") { quitf(_pe, "test case %d: expected YES or NO", tc); } if (!can) { quitf(_wa, "test case %d: contestant printed YES, but no solution exists", tc); } DSU dsu(n); for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { int u = ouf.readInt(1, n, "u_i"); if (u < l[i] || u > r[i]) { quitf(_wa, "test case %d: u_%d = %d is outside [%d, %d]", tc, i + 1, u, l[i], r[i]); } dsu.unite(v[i], u); } int root = dsu.find(1); for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) { if (dsu.find(i) != root) { quitf(_wa, "test case %d: the produced graph is not connected", tc); } } } // Lenient EOF: skip any leftover whitespace, only reject if real content remains while (ouf.seekEof() == false) { ouf.readToken(); } quitf(_ok, "accepted"); } 2b:["$","div",null,{"children":[["$","$L63",null,{"contestId":"69eeaea7b68e2fa971e12f48","contestType":"cp","contestNumber":6,"contestUrlId":"6","initialIsRegistered":false,"registrationClosed":true}],["$","$L64",null,{"contest":{"contestNumber":6,"title":"Repovive Premier Round 3","startDate":"2026-05-03T14:35:00.000Z","endDate":"2026-05-03T17:05:00.000Z","urlSlug":"$undefined","problemDisplay":"letters","requiresPremium":false,"lobbyProblemsCount":7,"isProblemSet":false,"contestType":"cp","adminOnly":false,"isWeeklyChallenge":false,"weekNumber":"$undefined","ratedMaxTier":"$undefined","announcements":[]},"problems":[{"_id":"69f6bb6f9232943260e0edbe","contestId":"69eeaea7b68e2fa971e12f48","slug":"maximum-triangle-perimeter","title":"Maximum Triangle Perimeter","description":"You are given three sticks with integer lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$.\n\nYou may cut the sticks.
