Umbrella GCD Sequence
Construct a high-value increasing sequence with strictly increasing adjacent gcds.
Umbrella GCD Sequence
Construct a high-value increasing sequence with strictly increasing adjacent gcds.
Solution Interface
Submit a zip_project solution. The run command is executed once per case, reads the case from standard input, and writes the answer to standard output. The trusted separated evaluator runs the migrated Frontier-CS Testlib checker against the submitted output and the case's evaluator-only answer or scoring metadata.
Scoring
The leaderboard score is the average checker ratio scaled to 0..100 across official cases. Invalid outputs receive zero for the affected case. The public validation case is intentionally tiny and deterministic; official scoring uses the source-derived Frontier-CS cases packaged as private benchmark data.
Original Statement
Problem
Anton owns (n) umbrellas, each labeled with a distinct integer from (1) to (n). He wants to arrange some of them in a line to form a brilliant sequence of umbrellas (BSU).
A sequence of (k) umbrellas with numbers (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k) is a BSU if:
- (a_i > a_{i-1}) for all (2 \le i \le k);
- (\gcd(a_i, a_{i-1}) > \gcd(a_{i-1}, a_{i-2})) for all (3 \le i \le k).
Here, (\gcd(x, y)) denotes the greatest common divisor of integers (x) and (y).
Input
A single line containing an integer (n) — the number of umbrellas ((1 \le n \le 10^{12})).
Output
Print two lines:
- The first line should contain an integer (k), the length of your BSU ((1 \le k \le 10^6)).
- The second line should contain (k) integers (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k) ((1 \le a_i \le n)), forming a valid BSU.
Goal
Maximize the objective: [ V ;=; \text{length}(\text{BSU}) \times \sum_{i=1}^{k} a_i ;=; k \times \Big(\sum_{i=1}^{k} a_i\Big). ]
Scoring
We compare your objective value (V_{\text{you}}) with a fixed baseline heuristic’s value (V_{\text{base}}) on the same test. There is no best/optimal reference in scoring.
Your score for a test is: [ \text{score} ;=; 100 \times \min!\left(\frac{V_{\text{you}}}{1.05 \times V_{\text{base}}},, 1\right). ]
Thus, reaching (1.05 \times V_{\text{base}}) yields a score of 100. Your final score is the average over all tests. Invalid outputs (violating constraints) receive 0 for that test.
