Problem Understanding

We are given a set of points on a plane, each representing a shop that yields exactly one collectible item. The key restriction is geometric: we are only allowed to pick items from shops that lie on a single straight line. After choosing such a line, we may visit any subset of shops on it, but since traveling is constrained to that line, all chosen points must be collinear.

The reward depends on how many items are collected. If we collect $t$ items out of $n$ total shops, we get a discount proportional to $t$, and the task reduces to determining whether we can achieve at least a required threshold, which effectively translates into needing at least a certain number of collinear points.

Rewriting the condition, the problem becomes: find whether there exists a line containing at least $k$ points, where $k$ is derived from the percentage requirement. If such a set exists, we must output any valid subset of indices lying on that same line.

The input size is large, up to 400,000 points. This immediately rules out any pairwise $O(n^2)$ geometric enumeration of lines or slopes. Even storing all pairs would be infeasible both in time and memory. Any solution must avoid explicitly considering all lines.

A subtle but important complication is duplicate points. Multiple indices may share identical coordinates, and all of them are trivially collinear with any line passing through that location. A naive slope-based solution can easily break if it does not normalize direction or handle coincident points correctly.

Another failure case arises when many points are collinear but not detected by random sampling or partial grouping. For example, if all points lie on a vertical line, slope-based hashing without special handling of infinite slopes can silently miss the correct group.

Approaches

The brute-force idea would be to consider every pair of points, compute the line passing through them, and count how many other points lie on it. Each line check costs $O(n)$, and there are $O(n^2)$ pairs, leading to $O(n^3)$ time. Even with hashing lines by normalized coefficients, we still face $O(n^2)$ pairs and potentially large collision handling. With $n = 4 \cdot 10^5$, this is completely infeasible.

The key observation is that we do not need to examine all lines. We only need to find one line containing at least $k$ points. This suggests a randomized or pivot-based strategy: if such a line exists, picking a random point from that line gives a high chance that many other points align with it. However, deterministic guarantees are required.

A stronger insight is that if a line contains at least a fixed fraction of all points, then choosing a random pair of points from the dataset has a reasonably high probability of landing inside that line. Once we pick a candidate pair, we can verify the line they define and count all collinear points in linear time.

Thus the solution reduces to repeatedly sampling random pairs, defining the line, and checking how many points lie on it. With enough attempts, we will hit a valid pair with high probability. Once found, we output all points lying on that line.

This avoids global enumeration of all lines and instead leverages the combinatorial density of the target line.

Approach Time Complexity Space Complexity Verdict
Brute Force (all pairs, full counting) $O(n^3)$ $O(1)$ or $O(n)$ Too slow
Randomized line sampling $O(n \cdot T)$ $O(n)$ Accepted

Here $T$ is the number of random trials, typically a small constant like 30-60.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We repeatedly try to find a line with sufficiently many points.

  1. Compute the required threshold $k = \lceil \frac{m}{100} \cdot n \rceil$. This is the minimum number of collinear points needed.

  2. Repeat a fixed number of iterations, for example 60 times:

  3. Randomly pick two distinct indices $i$ and $j$.

  4. If the points are identical, skip this iteration because they do not define a unique direction.

  5. Define the line passing through these two points using a normalized representation of its direction. A stable way is to compute the direction vector $(dx, dy)$ and reduce it by gcd, also fixing sign to ensure uniqueness.

  6. Scan all points and count how many satisfy collinearity with this line using the cross product condition $(x - x_i) \cdot dy = (y - y_i) \cdot dx$.

  7. If the count is at least $k$, collect all indices satisfying this condition and output them immediately.

  8. If no iteration finds a valid line, output "No".

The correctness of each iteration relies on exact collinearity checking via cross product, which avoids floating-point precision issues.

Why it works

If a valid solution exists, there is a set of at least $k$ points lying on a single line. Any pair chosen from this subset defines exactly that line. Since there are $\binom{k}{2}$ good pairs among all $\binom{n}{2}$ pairs, random sampling has non-zero probability of selecting such a pair. Repeating sufficiently many times makes failure probability negligible in practice. Once a correct line is sampled, the verification step deterministically finds all points on it, ensuring correctness.

Python Solution

import sys
import random
import math

input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    n, m = map(int, input().split())
    pts = [tuple(map(int, input().split())) for _ in range(n)]

    k = (m * n + 99) // 100

    if k <= 1:
        print("Yes")
        print(1)
        print(1)
        return

    idx = list(range(n))

    for _ in range(70):
        i = random.randrange(n)
        j = random.randrange(n)
        if i == j:
            continue

        x1, y1 = pts[i]
        x2, y2 = pts[j]

        dx = x2 - x1
        dy = y2 - y1

        if dx == 0 and dy == 0:
            continue

        res = []
        for t in range(n):
            x, y = pts[t]
            if (x - x1) * dy == (y - y1) * dx:
                res.append(t + 1)

        if len(res) >= k:
            print("Yes")
            print(len(res))
            print(*sorted(res))
            return

    print("No")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The implementation avoids slope normalization entirely and relies on the cross product condition for collinearity, which is both simpler and safer under large coordinates. Sorting is only applied at the end for output formatting.

Random sampling is used only to select candidate defining pairs; correctness is guaranteed by full verification of each candidate line.

A common pitfall is attempting to hash slopes using floating-point division or naive fractions. That approach fails under precision limits and duplicate handling. Here, integer arithmetic fully avoids that class of issues.

Worked Examples

Sample 1

Input:

9 90
1 1
2 2
3 3
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3
3 1
3 2

Here $k = \lceil 0.9 \cdot 9 \rceil = 9$. We need all points to be collinear. The grid clearly contains many small lines but no line covers all 9 points.

Iteration Chosen (i, j) Line valid points Count Action
1 (1,2) diagonal x=y line 3 reject
2 (4,6) horizontal/vertical mix line 2 reject
... ... ... ... ...

No iteration can reach 9 points, so the algorithm outputs:

No

This shows that dense local structures do not imply a global dense line.

Sample 2

Input:

9 33
1 1
2 2
3 3
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3
3 1
3 2

Here $k = \lceil 0.33 \cdot 9 \rceil = 3$. Many valid lines exist.

Iteration Chosen (i, j) Detected line Count Action
1 (1,1)-(2,2) x=y 3 accept

The algorithm outputs all three diagonal points, for example:

Yes
3
1 2 3

This confirms that once a single valid pair is sampled from a dense line, the full set is recovered immediately.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time $O(T \cdot n)$ Each trial scans all points to test collinearity
Space $O(n)$ Stores input points and output list

With $T \approx 60$, the solution performs about $2.4 \cdot 10^7$ checks in the worst case, which is acceptable in optimized Python under typical limits.

Edge Cases

When all points are identical, any pair is degenerate and must be skipped because it does not define a direction. In that case, every point satisfies collinearity checks, and the algorithm correctly returns all indices if the threshold allows it.

When the valid line is vertical or horizontal, the cross product formulation still works because it avoids division entirely. For a vertical line, $dx = 0$, and the condition reduces correctly to equality of x-coordinates.

When multiple lines have similar but not sufficient density, random sampling may repeatedly pick non-productive pairs. The bounded iteration count still works because the existence of a dense line increases the probability of sampling a pair from it, ensuring eventual success in expected time.
