2025年USACO公开赛银奖组问题二—Compatible Pairs

Deep in the countryside, Farmer John’s cows aren’t just ordinary farm animals—they are part of a clandestine bovine intelligence network. Each cow carries an ID number, carefully assigned by the elite cow cryptographers. However, due to Farmer John's rather haphazard tagging system, some cows ended up with the same ID.

Farmer John noted that there are N(1≤N≤2⋅105) unique ID numbers, and for each unique ID di (0≤di≤109), there are ni(1≤ni≤109) cows who shared it.

The cows can only communicate in pairs, and their secret encryption method has one strict rule: two cows can only exchange information if they are not the same cow and the sum of their ID numbers equals either A or B(0≤A≤B≤2⋅109). A cow can only engage in one conversation at a time (i.e., no cow can be part of more than one pair).

Farmer John would like to maximize the number of disjoint communication pairs to ensure the best information flow. Can you determine the largest number of conversations that can happen at once?

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains N, A, B.

The next N lines each contain ni and di. No two di are the same.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

The maximum number of disjoint communicating pairs that can be formed at the same time.

Note that the large size of integers involved in this problem may require the use of 64-bit integer data types (e.g., a "long long" in C/C++).

SAMPLE INPUT:

4 4 5
17 2
100 0
10 1
200 4

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

118

A cow with an ID of 0 can communicate with another cow with an ID of 4 because the sum of their IDs is 4. Since there are a total of 100 cows of ID 0
and 200 cows of ID 4, there can be up to 100 communicating pairs with this combination of IDs.

A cow with an ID of 4 can also communicate with another cow with an ID of 1
(sum to 5). There are 10 cows of ID 1 and 100 remaining unpaired cows of ID 4
, allowing for another 10 pairs.

Finally, a cow with an ID of 2 can communicate with another cow of the same ID. Since there are a total of 17 cows of ID 2, there can be up to 8 more pairs.

In total, there are 100+10+8=118 communicating pairs. It can be shown that this is the maximum possible number of pairs.

SAMPLE INPUT:

4 4 5
100 0
10 1
100 3
20 4

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

30

Pairing IDs 0 and 4 makes 20 pairs, while pairing IDs 1 and 3 makes 10 pairs. It can be shown that this is the optimal pairing, resulting in a total of 30
pairs.

SCORING:

Inputs 3-4: A=B
Inputs 5-7: N≤1000
Inputs 8-12: No additional constraints
