11112 - Babylonian Roulette

[sclo]

For some reason I keep getting WA. Maybe I misunderstood the problem.
Here's my code (a=pot at beginning b = bet, c = pot at the end)

Code: Select all

AC...

You are assuming that at at least one player must turn the roulette, but this isn't so. (Zero is a valid answer).

Now I got AC, but my assumptions contradicts the problem statements.

In other case, the printed answer is one positive integer number telling the minimal number of players that could turn the roulette for the day corresponding to the annotations.

Also another assumption that I have to make is that P0<bet is valid. It is not clear from the problem statement whether this case is valid or not.

If at some turn the pot was less than the bet, the game was ended for that day

It should be "If P(t+1) < bet then the game ends...."

Any ideas what tricky cases I am getting wrong?

Edit: I misunderstood last rule of the game..

How about this case...

Input:

Code: Select all

104 475 579
0 0 0

Output:

Code: Select all

1

Hope it helps.

Thank you Jan. I get AC now.

I misunderstood Simon's comment regarding the rule

If at some turn the pot was less than the bet, the game was ended for that day

I don't like this kind of problem.

Since my English is poor, I spent more than 40 minutes for reading and understanding the article. After I understood this problem, I spent only about 4 minutes to coding and submit. I think this problem is suitable for the "English reading contest" rather than the "programming contest".
