My AC program writes following answers:

80 60 >> 199
60 80 >> 200
60 60 >> 160

BTW I solved this problem without any boring special cases consideration, using only stupid DP[101][101]...

I saw DP[101][101], is it for dynamic programming ?
I don't think we'll need it.

80 60     199
60 80     200
60 60     160

Its quite easy to do.
Basically, there are 2 "worst" cases:
1). We take 40 right (equals 40*2=80 secs), then throw all the rest of the right ones (2*(b-40) secs), and them take the 40 left (40 secs). The time is 80+2*(b-40)+40=120+2*(b-40).
2). We take 39 left (78 secs), take 40 left ones (40 secs), throw all the other left ones away (2*(a-40)), and take the last right one (1 sec). The time is 78+40+2*(a-40)+1=119+2*(a-40).

The answer is the maximum of these two.

ONU_1785

In the case two, when you say: "We take 39 left (78 secs)", why?
If I take the first 39 lefts, this not is 39 secs???? one second per each slipper

Very hard problem, I thought about 20 minutes and then wrote DP[101][101][41][41] :)

ONU_1785 means 39 right, it's just a typo.

There are 2 possible bad ways:

1) mode "putting on left slippers" |*0*|0|
   slippers come only for right legs |*0*|40| (time +40*2)
   if there are more than 40 slippers for right legs
      they still come  |*0*|40| (time + (b-40)*2)
   then there are slippers only for left legs |*40*|40| (time +40);

2) mode "putting on left slippers" |*0*|0|
   slippers come for right legs except 1 |*0*|39| (time +39*2)
   then slippers come only for left legs |*40*|39| (time +40)

   now mode changes to "putting on right slippers" |40|*39*|
   happy centipede hopes to get the last needed right slipper,
   she gets all slippers for left legs, which are still left |40|*39*| (time + (a-40)*2)
   and finally she gets the last one right slipper |40|*40*| (time +1)

So, just choose the worst way according to exact input.

you have 60  and 80, from where you take 39?
