About the task of the competition №4:The previous task of the
competition №3 was quickly solved by the participants by 100%. The solution was demonstrated much easier than expected. This was due to the initial data of the problem, allowing for such an opportunity and the ingenuity of the participants. In general, such unexpected turns of events are encouraging, it adds intrigue, but at the same time makes it more careful to approach the preparation of tasks and the preparation of the initial data. This time I propose to re-solve the task of
competition No. 3 , but with new initial data, which (I hope) will make the task exactly what was originally intended
