That's the same formula i used and got AC. I calculated a as:
[cpp]
double a = floor(pow(cube, 1.0/3.0)+0.0000000001);
[/cpp]

A technique that often works with these kinds of problems is to try to identify some kind of structure in the sequence and search step by step closer to the object. Assume you are going from number to object. For example if you know the sequence of objects is divided in 26 parts (which is often the ...

I think the easiest method is to make a function which takes a string and two indices as arguments (start and end index of a substring). Since these indices will both be smaller than 1000 you can make a memo-table which is 1000*1000 elements large and store values from old function calls. Then you p...

I used dynamic programming to solve this. Let f(s) be the shortest palindrome created from the string s. There are two cases: If the first and last character of s is the same, say s=a[...]a, then f(s) = af([...])a Otherwise, say s=a[...]b, then f(s) = af([...]b)a or bf(a[...])b, whichever is shorter...

A* uses a heuristic to guide it's search. The only difference is what value you use for nodes on the priority queue. In Dijkstra you order nodes with their distance from the start node. In A* you simply add a heuristic value which estimates the distance from the current node to the goal. This way th...

Incorrect testdata?
I think the testdata in this problem is incorrect 
My assert(n_trees <= 1000); fails, without it i get accepted.

I used dynamic programming to solve this problem. Perhaps not the fastest way but it worked. A situation with some c and n is a winning situation if there is a number i between 1 and n so that c+i is prime and the situation with the counter = c+i is _not_ a winning situation, if there is no such num...
