HackerEarth Game of Cubes problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Game of Cubes problem solution Alice and Bob are playing a game. In this game small cubes are placed over each other, forming a cuboid of length B, height L and breadth 1.
The special property in these cubes is that adjacent cubes always form a cluster.
