What does it mean: "reach smth"?
It's a strict condition, but how should i understand it?)
In my opinion, this sample has two right answers:
4
0 0
0 1
0 5
0 8
2 * (1.5 * 1.5) * M_PI or (1 + 3 * 3) * M_PI.

input:
2 8
12 28 40 46
48 54 60 80
2 7
9 24
34 49
54 62
66 77
78 79
80 83
84 84

output:
6

input #1:
3
110

output #1:
YES

input #2:
4
1110

output #2:
NO

12
12 5 3 11 2 8 4 9 1 6 10 7

answer: 34650  in example output.

But, following full check test prints 6300.

-----
static bool match(int a[], int n, int b[], int m){
    if (n != m) return false;
    if (n == 0 && m == 0) return true;

    int i = std::max_element(a, a + n) - a;
    int j = std::max_element(b, b + m) - b;

    return i == j && match(a, i, b, j) && match(a + i + 1, n - i - 1, b + j + 1, m - j - 1);
}
int main()
{
        int n = 12;
        int a[] = { 12, 5, 3, 11, 2, 8, 4, 9, 1, 6, 10, 7 };
        int b[] = {  1, 2, 3,  4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12};
        int ans = 0;
        do{
            if (match(a, n, b, n)) ++ ans;

        } while (std::next_permutation(b, b + 12) );

        printf("ans = %d\n", ans);
        return 0;
}

I solved it using pretty straigtforward DP O(n * m^2), obviously it's just a complexity without any additional factors but it doesn't seem to be fitting time limit. Somehow it did. But I wonder, is there any more intricate idea for a faster solution?

try this test:
1 1 3 100 3000

ans: 1000

how to know when there are no more inputs

Что за 26 тест? Никак не могу его победить

why wa#17?
help pls

New tests have been added. All accepted solutions have been rejudged. 15 out of 20 authors lost the Solved status for this problem.

Hey admins, I've sent a couple of tests to timus_support@acm.timus.ru that my AC solution was struggling with. Please validate if they can be added to the system.

def word_to_num(word):
    d=
{'a':'2','b':'2','c':'2','d':'3','e':'3','f':'3','g':'4','h':'4','i':'1','j':'1','k':'5','l':'5','m':'6','n':'6','o':'0','p':'7','q':'0','r':'7','s':'7','t':'8','u':'8','v':'8','w':'9','x':'9','y':'9','z':'0'}
    s=''
    for i in word:
        s+=d[i]
    return s
from itertools import permutations
while True:
    num_dict={}
    num_list=[]
    word_list=[]
    num = input()
    if num=='-1':
        break
    loop_len = int(input())
    for i in range(loop_len):
        word_list.append(input())
    for item in word_list:
        num_dict[word_to_num(item)]=item
        num_list.append(word_to_num(item))
    perm = permutations(num_list,2)
    x=0
    for k,v in list(perm):
        if k+v==num:
            print(num_dict[k]+' '+num_dict[v])
        else:
            x += 1

    if x==loop_len*(loop_len-1):
        print('No solution')

Правда вне рейтинга:)

One way I can think of is to sort edge by cost
and use dynamic connectivity

But it's very hard to implement :(
What's the better solution?

O(n*sqrt(n)*log(n)) enough?

Upd: OK with this complexity. But 2.7 c++. How to solve with 0.1 second?

Any way to remove test miners from the board?

Can you give me some "extra" test or smth like that... My prog passed all my tests but i get wa#3...

Thnx!

Accepted:)
