Then, you should binary search for the correct value. :)

Edit: I think you should ternary search. :)

There are many coders failed in problem B Div1 because they didn’t make enough iterations in the binary search.

It’s O(n^3).

What about the 24-hours qualification round? Will it be rated also?

TC Open has no upper limit for the age, and I think the lower limit is because of the money prizes and the onsite rounds.

"The VK Cup Championship is an open computer programming competition"

I don’t think this is an open competition, because of the age limit.

According to the number of votes I got in the first comment, will you take it into considerations?

I think it will be 4 points per minute, and the minimum score will be 300.

I prefer if the problems are not sorted, just randomly shuffled.

I think sorting the problems will ruin the experiment, just tell us after the contest what was your estimated difficulties, and see how correct is it.

I don’t like these posts, a post in English to announce about something which will be in Russian only.

I don't agree with the randomization at all. If the reason of doing this is  because some people think it's impossible for them to get a t-shirt, so I think the winner of the next TCO should be selected randomly.

Just to make an entry for name1 in the map, and it will be 0. Because I have to print all names even if the factor is 0.
If there is no entry for name1, nothing will happen. If there is no entry, it will be the same as factor[name1] = 0.
