I have seen two problems more than a year ago, but I cannot remember their numbers, so I can't reach them again
One problem is about getting an optimal solution for a game like Click-o-mania.
The other problem is about bombs that are thrown to demolish circular areas and the total destroyed area is required.
Does anybody remember the problem numbers? Thanks.
Problem numbers?

http://acm.uva.es/p/v105/10559.html is similar to Click-o-mania, but the difference is that it is one-dimensional. Is this what u were looking for?
Thanks I am not sure if the Click-o-mania problem was for 1-D or 2-D, but this seems to be the right problem. I suppose the problem in 2-D will be really so hard that you can't expect to find such a problem in UVA, unless the limits allow for an exponential-time algorithm. Does anybody know a similar problem but in 2-D?
