You need to use 64 bit integers (signed is ok)

Re: 11341 - Term Strategy

A couple hints for those getting WA.

The problem description is misleading, do not use the ` character in the phrase "Peter, you shouldn't have played billiard that much."

Also, I did confirm that exam grades are non decreasing via an assert.
