DOMINO1 - The Longest Chain of Domino Tiles
You are given N domino tiles. Each tile is made of some number of squares (not necessarily two), and each square is coloured either white or black (we use the Croatian letters: B for white and C for black).
Find the longest chain that can be made of these tiles. Each tile can be used at most once and cannot be rotated (for example, BC cannot become CB). The chain is made by a common rule: in adjacent tiles, touching squares must be of the same colour.
Input
[N ≤ 100, the number of dominoes]
in the next N lines:
[a string of size between 1 and 100, representing the domino]
Output
The length of the longest chain.
Example
Input: 4 CB BCC BBCC BCBBC Output: 11

ID :- 6781525 giving wrong answer. Can someone plz give some more test cases as it is giving correct answer even for the test case in the forum. |

@nika: it is very useful to learn how to test your solutions. Namely, you make a brute-force solution and a (random) test-case generator, generate about 100 test cases (small enough for brute-force), find the one on which brute-force and your real solution give different answers and then debug. :) Last edit: 2011-05-12 19:13:23 |

Thank you very much :-) AC now but I must avoid such silly mistakes in the future... |

Can someone give some tricky test cases? Trying to solve it, works fine for all mine test cases, but keep getting WA... |

Nice problem, seems like easy but ACC rate is not high. Maybe contains tricky test case Last edit: 2011-05-05 16:51:14 |
