Nice problem, but too big time limit...

1 second is just enough.

just 0.1 sec.

How can you do it so fast?

Because of enough time,I used dfs in 0.9sec.
But I think bfs+binary will much faster...

What is your algo?

I used dfs and get AC with 2.1 sec.
Then i use simple optimization and get Ac with 0.17 sec? It's very simple.

there is a simple dp-on-subsets solution...

I tried to solve it with dp-on-subsets but WA at test 7. Any hints? Also, when I use stricmp in C++, I get CE. Is this function illegal?
Also, are the names unique in case-sensitive sense, or case insensitive? Does the last line in file always contain word 'Tanya'?

AC with the help of "if currentTime - startTime > 3.98 then exit"~
Without this limitation, it works almost full 40 seconds on test with maxed N and M.
I feel too lazy to think of effecient ways when i see such a generous time limit...
