P10285 [USACO24OPEN] Activating Robots P

You and a single robot are initially at point $0$ on a circle with perimeter $L$ ($1 \le L \le 10^9$). You can move either counterclockwise or clockwise along the circle at $1$ unit per second. All movement in this problem is continuous. Your goal is to place exactly $R-1$ robots such that at the end, every two consecutive robots are spaced $L/R$ away from each other ($2\le R\le 20$, $R$ divides $L$). There are $N$ ($1\le N\le 10^5$) activation points, the $i$th of which is located $a_i$ distance counterclockwise from $0$ ($0\le a_i

The first line contains $L$, $R$, $N$, and $K$. The next line contains $N$ space-separated integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_N$.

The minimum time required to achieve the goal.

##### For Sample 1: We can reach the activation point at $6$ in $4$ seconds by going clockwise. At this time, the initial robot will be located at $2$. Wait an additional $18$ seconds until the initial robot is located at $1$. Now we can place a robot to immediately win. ##### For Sample 2: We can reach the activation point at $7$ in $3$ seconds by going clockwise. At this time, the initial robot will be located at $1.5$. Wait an additional second until the initial robot is located at $2$. Now we can place a robot to immediately win. #### SCORING: - Inputs 5-6: $R=2$. - Inputs 7-12: $R\le 10, N\le 80$. - Inputs 13-20: $R\le 16$. - Inputs 21-24: No additional constraints.
