One test case jargon How do we handle just one case? Is there a blank line at the end? Or... ccc97s4 Nov 29, 2008 - 8:10:15 pm UTC
Hint bbi5291 The mathematical justification of the solution is long and complicated, but... first solve the problem in base 10. Notice that 20+1 is a multiple of 7. Here's another rule: to check for divisibility b... divrules Nov 29, 2008 - 5:35:28 pm UTC
Hint SourSpinach Since you can go left and right freely, if you're standing still at a certain depth, does your East/West position matter? Also, if you're already below the treasure, make sure you've already picked i... RetDig Nov 29, 2008 - 5:29:41 pm UTC

Hint hansonw1 There are only 2N combinations of cliques - you can try all of them. (this will give you partial points) You can optimize this, though. clique Nov 29, 2008 - 3:35:05 am UTC
Hint 3 hansonw1 If I have a partial geometric sequence (a geometric sequence with numbers possibly removed), the ratios between adjacent numbers will form another partial geometric sequence with the same ratio as the... seq Nov 29, 2008 - 3:30:37 am UTC
