# POJ 2318 TOYS

## Description:

Calculate the number of toys that land in each bin of a partitioned toy box.
Mom and dad have a problem - their child John never puts his toys away when he is finished playing with them. They gave John a rectangular box to put his toys in, but John is rebellious and obeys his parents by simply throwing his toys into the box. All the toys get mixed up, and it is impossible for John to find his favorite toys.

John’s parents came up with the following idea. They put cardboard partitions into the box. Even if John keeps throwing his toys into the box, at least toys that get thrown into different bins stay separated. The following diagram shows a top view of an example toy box.

For this problem, you are asked to determine how many toys fall into each partition as John throws them into the toy box.

# UVA 11291 Smeech

## Description:

Professor Octastichs has invented a new pro-gramming language, Smeech. An expression in Smeech may be a positive or negative integer, or may be of the form (p e 1 e 2 ) where p is a real number between 0 and 1 (inclusive) and e 1 and e 2 are Smeech expressions.

The value represented by a Smeech expression is as follows:

• An integer represents itself
• With probability p, (p e 1 e 2 ) represents x+ y where x is the value of e 1 and y is the value of e 2 ; otherwise it represents x − y.

Given a Smeech expression, what is its expected value?

# A. Make a triangle!

## Description:

Masha has three sticks of length $a$, $b$ and $c$ centimeters respectively. In one minute Masha can pick one arbitrary stick and increase its length by one centimeter. She is not allowed to break sticks.
What is the minimum number of minutes she needs to spend increasing the stick’s length in order to be able to assemble a triangle of positive area. Sticks should be used as triangle’s sides (one stick for one side) and their endpoints should be located at triangle’s vertices.

# HDU 3951 Coin Game

## Description:

After hh has learned how to play Nim game, he begins to try another coin game which seems much easier.

The game goes like this:
Two players start the game with a circle of n coins.
They take coins from the circle in turn and every time they could take 1~K continuous coins.
(imagining that ten coins numbered from 1 to 10 and K equal to 3, since 1 and 10 are continuous, you could take away the continuous 10 , 1 , 2 , but if 2 was taken away, you couldn’t take 1, 3, 4, because 1 and 3 aren’t continuous)
The player who takes the last coin wins the game.
Suppose that those two players always take the best moves and never make mistakes.
Your job is to find out who will definitely win the game.

# A. Vova and Train

## Description:

Vova plans to go to the conference by train. Initially, the train is at the point $1$ and the destination point of the path is the point $L$. The speed of the train is $1$ length unit per minute (i.e. at the first minute the train is at the point $1$, at the second minute — at the point $2$ and so on).
There are lanterns on the path. They are placed at the points with coordinates divisible by $v$ (i.e. the first lantern is at the point $v$, the second is at the point $2v$ and so on).
There is also exactly one standing train which occupies all the points from $l$ to $r$ inclusive.
Vova can see the lantern at the point $p$ if $p$ is divisible by $v$ and there is no standing train at this position ($p \not\in [l; r]$). Thus, if the point with the lantern is one of the points covered by the standing train, Vova can’t see this lantern.
Your problem is to say the number of lanterns Vova will see during the path. Vova plans to go to $t$ different conferences, so you should answer $t$ independent queries.

# HDU 2222 Keywords Search

## Description:

In the modern time, Search engine came into the life of everybody like Google, Baidu, etc.
Wiskey also wants to bring this feature to his image retrieval system.
Every image have a long description, when users type some keywords to find the image, the system will match the keywords with description of image and show the image which the most keywords be matched.
To simplify the problem, giving you a description of image, and some keywords, you should tell me how many keywords will be match.

# HDU 1890 Robotic Sort

## Description:

Somewhere deep in the Czech Technical University buildings, there are laboratories for examining mechanical and electrical properties of various materials. In one of yesterday’s presentations, you have seen how was one of the laboratories changed into a new multimedia lab. But there are still others, serving to their original purposes.

In this task, you are to write software for a robot that handles samples in such a laboratory. Imagine there are material samples lined up on a running belt. The samples have different heights, which may cause troubles to the next processing unit. To eliminate such troubles, we need to sort the samples by their height into the ascending order.

Reordering is done by a mechanical robot arm, which is able to pick up any number of consecutive samples and turn them round, such that their mutual order is reversed. In other words, one robot operation can reverse the order of samples on positions between A and B.

A possible way to sort the samples is to find the position of the smallest one (P1) and reverse the order between positions 1 and P1, which causes the smallest sample to become first. Then we find the second one on position P and reverse the order between 2 and P2. Then the third sample is located etc.

The picture shows a simple example of 6 samples. The smallest one is on the 4th position, therefore, the robot arm reverses the first 4 samples. The second smallest sample is the last one, so the next robot operation will reverse the order of five samples on positions 2–6. The third step will be to reverse the samples 3–4, etc.

Your task is to find the correct sequence of reversal operations that will sort the samples using the above algorithm. If there are more samples with the same height, their mutual order must be preserved: the one that was given first in the initial order must be placed before the others in the final order too.
