Competition for programmers №3

Project ttools.ru announces competition for programmers №3 !
You can read about the project's contests in the “ Contests ” section of the blog ttools.ru
About the task of the competition number 3:

I tried to pick a task more difficult and more interesting than the task of the competition №1 , but technically it is simpler than the task of the competition №2 . This task will require more ingenuity than programming techniques. The process of solving the problem, for me at least, was extremely fascinating. It is very interesting how a task breaks down into simpler subtasks that can be reduced to universal ones, and then the whole task looks completely different than it seemed at the initial stages. When solving, I experienced several flashes of “euryka”;) I hope that the solution of the problem will give you no less pleasure!

The sponsor of this competition is the Stock Technologies company - the developer of the SAT software, which is used to create, test and operate trading robots for Quik, SmartCOM and Plaza-2.
