Pack the balls in a box!Problem code: DX |
All submissions for this problem are available.
Suppose we have a set of balls and a large cuboid box, with a rectangle as its base. The box has a fixed size at the base, but we can choose its height. We would like to place all the balls within the box, and at the same time try to minimize its height.
Input
First, 2 integers, 10 ≤ a,b ≤ 100 - the dimensions of the rectangular base of the box. Then, an integer 1 ≤ n ≤ 10000, representing the number of balls. The following n values 1 ≤ ri ≤ 5 are the radii of the respective balls.
Output
You should write to output n triples of floating-point numbers, the ith triple being the x,y, and z coordinates of the center of the ith ball.
If we want to be precise, the coordinates of the points written to output must fulfill the following constraints for the i-th point: xi-ri ≥ 0, yi-ri ≥ 0, zi-ri ≥ 0, xi+ri ≤ a, yi+ri ≤ b. Moreover, for each i ≠ j, (xi - xj)2 + (yi - yj)2 + (zi - zj)2 ≥ (ri + rj)2 (no two balls are allowed to overlap).
Scoring
The goal is to minimize the height h of the box, where h = maxi (zi+ri). For each data set, your program will be scored by the proportion of the box volume actually used by the balls:
score = 4/3*π*(r13+..+rn3)/(a*b*h).
The program is run independently for a number of data sets, and the displayed score is the mean of scores obtained for individual data sets.
Example
Input: 5 5 2 1.0 2.0 Output: 4.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Score: 37.6991118/100.0 = 0.376991118

Program should read from standard input and write to standard output.
After you submit a solution you can see your results by clicking on the [My Submissions] tab on the problem page. Below are the possible results:
- Accepted
Your program ran successfully and gave a correct answer. If there is a score for the problem, this will be displayed in parenthesis next to the checkmark. - Time Limit Exceeded
Your program was compiled successfully, but it didn't stop before time limit. Try optimizing your approach. - Wrong Answer
Your program compiled and ran succesfully but the output did not match the expected output. - Runtime Error
Your code compiled and ran but encountered an error. The most common reasons are using too much memory or dividing by zero. For the specific error codes see the help section. - Compilation Error
