Hello,
The analysis for the "Infinite House of Pancakes" problem
(https://code.google.com/codejam/contest/6224486/dashboard#s=a&a=1) shows code
for the O(D*M) solution. However, it also mentions a O(D*sqrt(M) + M) solution
(without showing the code). Can someone provide an example code or tell me how
to adapt my Python solution to be O(D*sqrt(M) + M) ?
def solve():
T = int(input()) # the number of test cases
for case in range(1, T+1):
input() # the number of diners with non-empty plates, ignored
diners = [int(x) for x in input().split()]
minutes = max(diners) # the max stack of pancakes (= the max time)
# try to arrange all pancakes to stacks of equal height
for ncakes in range(1, minutes):
s = sum([(d - 1) // ncakes for d in diners if d > ncakes]) #
number of special minutes
if s + ncakes < minutes:
minutes = s + ncakes
print(f'Case #{case}: {minutes}')
