11207 - The easiest way

[Jan]

Warning : Spoiler Ahead...

Suppose the dimension is 'a x b' and a<=b.
Now, we have two options.

1. We can make an 'a x a' square (since a<=b). And after dividing it into four parts, the length of a square becomes a/2.

2.
i) if(b>=a*4) then we can make four 'a x a' squares. And so, the length of a square is a.
ii) if(b<a*4) then we can make four 'b/4 x b/4' squares. And so, the length of a square is b/4.

Finally, we have to find maximum length from these two options.
Hope it helps.

Hi people,
to all inputs in the board my code get ac... but I am with wa in 0.061 s
Something have a critic input to this problem?
Code AC
have do too:
0
000

input:
6 4
4 4

output:
1

thanks in advance...

Read my previous post. It will help you.

My program fail only for the following posted input:

Code: Select all

3
1 4
2 6
2 7

For this the posted output is 3. Why isn't 1 ?

For all three rectangles I think the biggest is 4 birds of 1x1 squares. Larger is impossible because 4*2^2=16 is bigger than the rectangle's area.

[hamedv]

the largest square for
2 7
is
1.75

[Robert Gerbicz]

the largest square for
2 7
is
1.75

Thanks! Now I got AC. I thought that all size of the birds are integers.

I didn't get the idea yet.... Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advanced

Invisible text follows (Spoiler):

Your way seemed a little over complicated for me. It was easier to think it this way:

The maximum side length given a and b will be MAX( MIN(a, b/4), MIN(a/2, b/2) )

Hello everybody!

Could you put more inputs here?
I tried all inputs posted here and the answers are equals.

thanks

Try this case..

Code:
2
1 10000
10 10
0


My output is

Code:
2

I'm confuse about this test case. Can anyone explain it to me ? Thx...

The first has one side too small. So the max side of each of the four squares of this line would be 1 (the width of the minor side in a longside cutted paper). For the second line, the result would be 5 (half of the side in a cross cutted paper).

My replies are all being the same. I have already tested in others sites (toolkit etc). I am receiving Wrong Answer. I suppose that there is some "formating bug" in my code. Is there any special way to format it?
