Today, is good medium problem. And very nice hints in case you don't come up with intuition.
Just small hint from my side, you must return maximum SQUARE, not rectangle. This what was not working for me.

Today is pretty nice and interesting problem, that involves a bit of Cortasian plane knowledge and a bit of geometry knowledge, but very basic one.

Where the fuck easy problems???
Today is not that hard problem to be honest, basic prefix sum will work to pass. To make it more optimal - you would need to optimize further. Pretty good medium, I just want one easy problem for break.

A bit of bitwise bullshit, needs quite a lot to build an intuition. Not worth it.

People, are there mobile devs?

I have bunch of questions about how this shit works. Preferably react native / expo guys. Interested in big abstract picture.

I want to ask how hard it will be to port some web thingy to ios/android, and what is even more critical - to make appstore accept it.

Today is pretty hard problem, that involves few concepts that I never heard of. I guess this is the first problem that chat gpt cannot handle as easy as it handles other problems. It is yesterday's problem, but we need to have O(n * log n)

In apartment that I rent in Dublin, I have shared washing machines and dryer. I'm sharing with one more tenant.

There is meter that needs 1 euro for 30 minutes of washing machine / dryer work.

I run out of 1 eur coins, cause I thought 1 eur is per washing, not per 30 mins.

It turned out that 5 CZK and 1 EUR coins are EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE

Save this lifehack :)
