The 32nd International Olympiad in Informatics was held in Online in 2020. There were two competition days, with 3 tasks given to the competitors on each day. You can see Tickets Problem and Solution below.

Problem :

Solution :

#include "tickets.h"
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define sz(v) ((int)(v).size())
#define all(v) (v).begin(), (v).end()

		return y > n.y;
	}
