[Community Puzzle] Hooch Clash

It’s clear enough that 217 people solved it before you.
Shall we upgrade it to medium difficulty?

orbSizeMin and orbSizeMax are clearly defined in the problem statement. You can’t solve this puzzle by reading its I/O section only.

There is no such thing as “our ball”. I’m not sure how you could have come to that hypothesis.

You should use this information wisely so as to solve the puzzle.

Was that a question?
Assuming it is, I’d refer you to the problem statement again. Have you read it? All of these words have a meaning, and that meaning is defined in the problem statement.

I happen be extremely aware that.
Thank you for showing up as a living proof of it.

Assuming you could use them for a fun clash, challenging using {31,37} would be more interesting than using {25,32}.

This could mean:
1)Taking bigger spheres is better
2)Taking the least different sizes is better
3)Taking spheres with maximum summary surface is better.

Yes, this is not so many variants. But it’s irritating - instead of solving smth really interesting, literally just use try-repeat.
And it takes a lot of additional time, if there are any others mistakes - you just don’t know - you picked wrong condition, or have a mistake?

A lot of people say, that just adding clear condition would make puzzle better. And you say only “read the condition carefully, all is written”.
You know, not all that is clear for you is clear for the people around you. Such approach feels arrogant and rude.

With the following statement in the puzzle, only one out of these three suggested options is correct.

A fun clash is as interesting as the challenger’s two orbs are heterogeneous (different-sized), as measured by their outside, sparkling, surface area.

Hello,
I have no problem with the pre-submit tests.
I still have a problem :slight_smile: with validator 2 when I submit.
Is there any hint which could help me to refine my code ?

Thanks

and I didn’t use any of these options and still passed, and I’m still not sure what this is actually supposed to mean:
