Curated External Problems

Core

Problem Source Difficulty Context Style Prerequisites Tags Why it fits
System of Linear Equations CSES Hard Linear Systems Math; Implementation Modular Arithmetic; Matrix Modeling; Gaussian Elimination Linear Algebra; Mod Prime; Free Variables The cleanest first verifier for the repo's exact route: solve one dense linear system modulo one prime and output any valid assignment.

Stretch

Problem Source Difficulty Context Style Prerequisites Tags Why it fits
System of Linear Equations Library Checker Hard Linear Systems Math; Implementation Gaussian Elimination; Free Variables; Basis Output Affine Solution Space; Mod Prime Same elimination worldview, but the output contract is stricter because the full affine solution space must be exposed instead of only one assignment.
