阿新 • • 發佈:2019-01-25
ICPC (International Cardboard Producing Company) is in the business of producing cardboard boxes. Recently the company organized a contest for kids for the best design of a cardboard box and selected M winners. There are N prizes for the winners, each one carefully packed in a cardboard box (made by the ICPC, of course). The awarding process will be as follows:
- All the boxes with prizes will be stored in a separate room.
- The winners will enter the room, one at a time.
- Each winner selects one of the boxes.
- The selected box is opened by a representative of the organizing committee.
- If the box contains a prize, the winner takes it.
- If the box is empty (because the same box has already been selected by one or more previous winners), the winner will instead get a certificate printed on a sheet of excellent cardboard (made by ICPC, of course).
- Whether there is a prize or not, the box is re-sealed and returned to the room.
