HackerEarth The Great Kian problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202413 February 2026

In this HackerEarth The Great Kian problem solution The great Kian is looking for a smart prime minister. He’s looking for a guy who can solve the OLP (Old Legendary Problem). OLP is an old problem (obviously) that no one was able to solve it yet (like P=NP).

But still, you want to be the prime minister really bad. So here’s the problem:

Given the sequence a1, a2, …, an find the three values a1 + a4 + a7 + …, a2 + a5 + a8 + … and a3 + a6 + a9 + … (these summations go on while the indexes are valid).

Second solution

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

const int N = 100031;

using namespace std;

int n;
int ar[N];
long long res[10];

int main(){
  ios_base::sync_with_stdio(0);
  //cin.tie(0);

  cin >> n;

  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    cin >> ar[i];
  }

  for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
  {
    int cur = i;
    do
    {
      res[i] += ar[cur];
      cur += 3;
