Challenge Overview

Problem Statement

    For 0 <= i,j < N, you will be given wi,j. You should find a permutation of 0..N-1: {p0, p1, ..., pN-1}, such that the sum over i < j of wp_i,p_j is maximized.



Each of the weights will be selected randomly from a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. The weights will be given to you as an array w, where w[i*N+j] gives wi,j (you may deduce N as sqrt(length(w))). You should return an array with N elements, specifying the permutation p.



Your score for each test case will be the sum mentioned above, divided by N*sqrt(N*log(N)-N)/100. Your overall final score will simply be the average of your individual scores.
 

Definition

    
Class:Permute
Method:findOrder
Parameters:double[]
Returns:int[]
Method signature:int[] findOrder(double[] w)
(be sure your method is public)
    
 

Notes

-There are 100 system tests.
-If your sum is less than 0, it will be increased to 0.
 

Constraints

-N will be between 100 and 1000, with the exception of some of the examples.
-The elements representing wi,i will be 0.
-The time limit is 30 seconds, and the memory limit is 1024M.
