been busy in college, its from 10 to 6 holy fuck.. who watches the watchpig? this was interesting problem. i was approaching it wrong. my thinking was to pair the L with R from left to right and R with L from right to left but correct solution is to transform first k positions to L and last k position to R. this was on the easy side.
The Humanoid in this problem my initial approach was to first use up all the green serums and then use blue serum. power increase in order:: {2,2,3}. but the power increase follows up permutation of green and blue serum:: {2,2,3}, {2,3,2}, {3,2,2}. also you have to make a prefix sum of [ai/2] .
Torus path by observation my initial thinking was that the right top corner and bottom left corner and center for (n%2==1). as for n%2==0 you can make any cell empty{which is horribly wrong}. concretly you can atmost 1 cell on antidiagonals have to be empty doesnt matter the parity of n or what cell outside the antidiagonal you chose to make empty. this is proved in the editorial.
