10400 - Game Show Math
I use DFS to solve this problem and I got TLE.
Can you tell me how can I reduce the running time?
Or tell me what algorithm you guys use? Thanks.

I can't understand why i got tle in this program. I use simple recursion.Can anybody help me in details the method of solving this problem in minimum time.Thanks in advance.
[code]
#include<stdio.h>
#define N 200
long long int n,p,m,q,w,cnt,l,r,res,b[N],a[N],u;
char c[N];
void rec(int t)
{
int i,j;
if(r==res && t==n)
{
printf("%d",a[0]);
for(i=0;i<n-1;i++)
{
printf("%c",c[i]);
printf("%lld",b[i]);
}
printf("=%lld\n",res);
w++;
cnt=1;
return;
}
if(t>=n) return ;
if(t)

Well , better strategy is not to do the same thing more than once.
Is it too simple ? But it really works.
I don't know what method Adrian Kuegel use to solve it.
Maybe his is more better than this.
Because his using memory is 1MB and time is much lower than 1 second.
(I guess: he can achieve the goal by using bit unit)
Can you understand what I said?

10400 Game Show Math :-)
I got TLE in this problem.
But I heard somebody use bit unit to solve problem.
Does anybody know what's the method?
Thanks!!:-)

I've tried to keep track of the value, but got Runtime Error.. ![:(](./images/smilies/icon_frown.gif)
but I don't have any idea why?? can someone help? Thanks!
