Does anyone have an insight into some trick the judges input may have. The problem is a straightforward longest path algorithm, which makes me wonder why I keep getting WA.

Thnx for any help

Your algorithm is the same as mine----1)Sort the boxes' dimensions 2)Get the longest path.And My solution was accepted two days ago.
Goodluck.

It may be helpful

103 - Why does it time out?

My program seems to work for any test case I give it, within the boundaries specified by the problem statement. However when I submit my code the online-judge times out. Does anyone have any idea what input they are using that could time out my program?

103 yellow check mark???

What exactly does the yellow check mark mean next to the problem? Apparently it's affecting my program because it works for every test case I use, but got wrong answer from the judge. Does any know any special things in the input?

The yellow colour means a special correction program for that problem. It's because there are more solution.

Question on 103

[c] :oops:
Would anyone give me hints on solving question 103??
I have that a silly way to do it, but don't know how to continue it or my way is wrong.
I first sort the dimensions of each box and then try to find out each boxes which can hold the next box......but if I do in this way, the codes will be very complicated.
Could anyone help me, please?[/c]

Hi!

Yes of course you have good idea....

Just try to look at this problem as a graph...
( But you will not have to implement it :wink: )
so there is a line beetween two boxes if you can put one into another..

This graph is one-way graph and it has no cycles...

So now you have only to count the longest path in such a graph...
Which is quite easy...

So don't worry that your program will be very complicated..
It only has to work :D

Good Luck :wink:

PS.

Next time try not to use table for C code for normal writing..

Thanks a lot!!! ^^

You must use DP or DFS to solve this problem. If realy want help then post your source code.

Does anyone have any suggestions on tricky cases to try?
