| My Accepted solution 8202681 for problem 1050 gives incorrect answer on my test (test contains command '\endinputany' in the middle of text).Please add my test to test package.
 
 TEST:
 There is no "q in this sentence. \par
 "Talk child," said the unicorn.
 
 \endinputany
 She s\"aid, "\thinspace `Enough!', he said."
 \endinput
 
 INCORRECT ANSWER:
 There is no q in this sentence. \par
 ``Talk child,'' said the unicorn.
 
 \endinputany
 
 CORRECT ANSWER:
 There is no q in this sentence. \par
 ``Talk child,'' said the unicorn.
 
 \endinputany
 She s\"aid, ``\thinspace `Enough!', he said.''
 \endinput
This is a good test, but I find it somewhat contradictory to the spirit of the problem. I added a note to the statements: "You may assume that there are no other commands starting with the prefix \endinput." |

| To ADMIN add test, because tests are weak | coder | 2175. Staircase | 21 Oct 2025 04:33 | 2 | 
| Hi, Admins.Please, add these case:
 N > 5*10^4
 a[i] = 1, for i = 1.. N-1, and
 a[N] = 10^9
 
 Q = N
 p[i] = i,  x[i] = i
 
 For example:
 77888
 1 1 1 1 1 1 .... 1 1 77888
 77888
 1 1
 2 2
 3 3
 4 4
 5 5
 ...
 77888 77888
Your test was added.
 The problem was rejudged, but only your solutions were affected.
 
 Thanks!

| Strange statement | 🦄imosk72🦄[GTGU] | 2181. Student, or There and Back Again | 19 Oct 2025 22:40 | 2 | 
| > The student’s home is located at the coordinates (1, 1), and the university is at the coordinates (N, M).It means, for example, if N == 1 && M == 1 then university have same coordinates as home. Of course we can not use any roads in such case. But according to the sentence:
 > There are a total of N streets running from north to south and M streets running from west to east.
 there are some roads that can not be used. I think there should be N - 1 streets running from north to south and M - 1 streets running from west to east.
The statement was updated to N, M >= 2. The tests with N == 1 or M == 1 were removed.
 Thanks for bringing this up.

| Problem Editorial (written by a beginner) | Adham Essam | 2025. Line Fighting | 18 Oct 2025 15:03 | 2 | 
| First of all, we need to understand which number of teams x (from 2 to k) we need to pick to distribute our fighters into.
 Through intuition we might get the idea that the bigger the K **the more the fights** (which is what is required).
 It can be proven that our intuition is correct; the more you divide n the better the result, therefore we will need to divide n by k.
 Proof: assuming we have n = 3, now let us assume we will distribute them to 1 team where the first team is of 3 fighters, there will be 0 fights, let us now assume we will distribute them to 2 teams where the first is of 2 and second is of 1 fighters, there will be 2 fights, lastly let us assume that we will distribute them to 3 teams where each team has a fighter, there will be 3 fights, we can then deduce that for each fighter you divide into a new group more fights are formed.
 Conclusion: It is always the best choice to divide by the biggest possible number you can divide by, thus we will always divide by K.
 
 
 To solve the problem we can then deduce that there will always be two cases:
 Case 1 (k divides n): here we simply divide fighters into k groups, each group (composed of (n/k) fighters) will fight some other group (composed of (n/k) fighters) thus the equation for the first case is simply:
 (k * (k - 1) / 2) * (n / k)^2
 
 Case 2 (k doesn't divide n): here we notice that n will be composed of x count of floor(n / k) and y count of ceil(n / k) meaning floor(n/k)*x + ceil(n/k)*y = n, and that obviously, x + y = k, through these equations we can deduce algebraically the values of x and y, and from it form our equation.
 Our equation will have x groups of floor (n / k) fighters which within them will form a specific number of fights, we will also have y groups of ceil (n / k) fighters which within them will form a specific number of fights, then we will also need an to find an equation that calculates the number of fights that happens between the x groups and the y groups, through observation and deduction you will find that this will be the equation of the second case:
 ((x * (x - 1) / 2) * (floor(n/k))^2) +
 ((y * (y - 1) / 2) * (ceil(n/k))^2) +
 (floor(n/k) * ceil(n/k)) * x * y
 
 
 
 Code:
 ```
 #include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
 using i64 = long long;
 
 int main() {
 std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
 std::cin.tie(nullptr);
 
 int t;    std::cin >> t;
 while (t--) {
 int n, k;    std::cin >> n >> k;
 if (n % k == 0) {
 int count = k * (k - 1) / 2;
 std::cout << count * (n / k) * (n / k) << '\n';
 } else {
 int x = n - ((n + k - 1) / k) * k;
 x = x / ((n / k) - ((n + k - 1) / k));
 int y = k - x;
 
 int part1 = (x * (x - 1) / 2) * (n / k) * (n / k);
 int part2 = (y * (y - 1) / 2) * ((n + k - 1) / k) * ((n + k - 1) / k);
 int part3 = (n / k) * ((n + k - 1) / k) * x * y;
 std::cout << part1 + part2 + part3 << '\n';
 }
 }
 
 return 0;
 }
 ```

| Problem 1281. River Basin reworked | Vladimir Yakovlev (USU) | 1281. River Basin | 16 Oct 2025 03:44 | 1 | 
| Clarifications added to the problem statement regarding river basin definition, river intersection restrictions and input precision.
 Tests that were invalid according to the clarifications have been fixed or replaced. Tests 9 and 13 contained overlapping segments making the river flow the same path back and forth; the tests have been replaced with new tests. Tests 15, 16, 18, 19 contained rivers with self-intersections; the tests have been corrected. Test 23 contained a river with a mouth lying on the segment of the other river and didn’t count as tributary; the test has been corrected, this situation is no longer allowed in the tests.
 
 New tests have been added. In particular, tests with more than 2 rivers in a basin have been introduced.
 
 All solutions have been rejudged. 106 authors lost, and 12 other authors gained the solved status for the problem.
