Problem Understanding

Each task in the contest consists of several independent “groups of points”, and each group can be either taken in full or skipped. If you take a group, you receive its full score; if you skip it, you get nothing from that group.

A constraint is imposed per task: you are not allowed to skip all groups inside a task. So for every task, you must choose a non-empty subset of its groups. The total score is the sum over all chosen groups across all tasks, and the question is whether it is possible to make this total exactly equal to a target value.

The input gives multiple tasks. For each task, you are given a list of positive integers representing the scores of its groups. The output is a simple feasibility answer: whether there exists a valid selection of groups (respecting the “non-empty per task” rule) whose total sum equals the required value.

The global structure is important: choices inside a task are local, but the final constraint is global across all tasks. This makes it a constrained subset sum problem with mandatory inclusion per block.

The bounds are large in number of tasks and total number of values, up to around 10^5 scale. That immediately rules out any solution that tries all subsets of groups per task or runs knapsack over the raw elements without compression. A solution closer to O(total elements × target) or exponential per task will not pass.

A subtle edge case comes from tasks that have only one group. In that case, the choice is forced, since the subset must be non-empty and the only available subset is the singleton. Another important edge case is when all group values are large relative to the target, making it impossible to reach small sums even though every task must contribute something.

Approaches

If we ignore structure, the most direct interpretation is to enumerate all valid choices inside each task, compute every possible sum per task, and then combine these task-sums across all tasks. For a single task with k groups, this already produces 2^k - 1 possible values. Combining these across n tasks leads to an exponential explosion where the number of combinations multiplies across tasks. Even with small k, the total number of states becomes astronomically large, and even generating all per-task sums already costs O(k·2^k) in the worst case.

The key observation is that we do not actually care about the internal structure of each task beyond the set of achievable sums. Each task contributes a small “feasible sum set”, and the global problem becomes selecting exactly one value from each set and summing them to reach the target. However, directly storing full sets is still too large.

The crucial simplification comes from noticing that within each task, we are forced to take at least one group. That means each task contributes a base value plus optional extra contributions. If we take the minimum group in a task, everything else becomes an “extra choice” relative to that baseline. Reformulating every task this way turns the problem into a bounded subset sum where each task has a fixed base contribution and a set of optional increments.

Now the problem becomes a standard knapsack over tasks: for each task, we must pick one mandatory item (the baseline), and optionally add any subset of remaining values. Since the target sum is small (around 10^5), a bitset dynamic programming over possible sums becomes viable. We first accumulate the mandatory baseline sum, then we try to see if we can reach the remaining difference using all optional contributions.

This reduces the structure from exponential per task to a single global DP over sums, where each value is processed once.

Approach	Time Complexity	Space Complexity	Verdict
Brute Force (per-task subsets + global combination)	O(∏ 2^{k_i})	O(∏ 2^{k_i})	Too slow
DP with bitset over flattened choices	O(total_sum × n) or O(total elements × S / word size)	O(S)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

For each task, compute the smallest group value and add it to a running base sum. This represents the minimum score we are forced to take from each task because we cannot leave a task empty.
For each task, treat every group value except one chosen mandatory baseline as optional extra contributions. The natural choice for the baseline is the smallest element, since it minimizes the compulsory cost and leaves more flexibility for reaching the target.
After processing all tasks, compute the remaining amount we still need to reach the target by subtracting the base sum from the required sum. If this value is negative, the answer is immediately impossible because even taking the minimum per task already exceeds the target.
Build a boolean DP (bitset) where dp[x] indicates whether we can achieve extra sum x using optional contributions across all tasks.
Initialize dp[0] = true. This corresponds to choosing no optional extras.
Iterate over all optional values from all tasks, and for each value v, update dp so that any previously reachable sum x also makes x + v reachable. This step is a classic subset sum transition applied globally.
After processing all optional values, check whether dp[remaining] is true. If yes, the target sum is achievable under constraints, otherwise it is not.

Why it works

Each task is decomposed into a fixed mandatory contribution plus independent optional increments. The mandatory part ensures the “non-empty subset per task” constraint is always satisfied. The optional part forms a standard subset selection problem over independent items. Since all tasks are independent after this decomposition, merging all optional values into one global subset sum DP preserves all valid combinations. The DP state captures exactly the set of achievable extra sums, so reaching the target is equivalent to finding a valid subset of optional contributions.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    n, s = map(int, input().split())

    base = 0
    optional = []

    for _ in range(n):
        k = int(input())
        arr = list(map(int, input().split()))

        m = min(arr)
        base += m

        for v in arr:
            if v != m:
                optional.append(v)

    if base > s:
        print("NO")
        return

    target = s - base

    dp = 1  # bitset: dp[x] = bit x reachable

    for v in optional:
        dp |= (dp << v)
        if dp >> target & 1:
            break

    if (dp >> target) & 1:
        print("YES")
    else:
        print("NO")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The code first converts every task into a mandatory minimum contribution and a list of optional increments. The bitset dp is an integer used as a compressed boolean array, where shifting by v adds all sums that can be extended by v. This avoids a full O(n·s) array and keeps transitions fast using bit operations.

The early exit after detecting the target bit is an important optimization: once the required sum becomes reachable, further processing is unnecessary.

Worked Examples

Consider a small case with two tasks.

Input:

The first task forces at least 3, the second forces at least 2, so base = 5. Remaining target is 5. Optional values are [5] from first task and [4] from second task.

Step	dp (reachable sums)
start	{0}
+5	{0, 5}
+4	{0, 4, 5, 9}

We can reach 5 exactly, so answer is YES.

Now consider:

Here base = 4 + 3 = 7, so remaining target is 0.

Step	dp
start	{0}

We already match the target exactly without optional choices, so answer is YES immediately.

These examples show how the decomposition isolates a forced baseline and turns everything else into a clean subset-sum layer.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O(N + S × U / word_size)	Each optional value shifts a bitset up to size S
Space	O(S)	DP bitset over reachable sums

The constraints allow up to 10^5 scale for both number of values and target sum. The bitset-based subset sum keeps transitions efficient enough because operations are done on machine words, making the effective complexity closer to linear in practice.

Test Cases

import sys, io

def run(inp: str) -> str:
    sys.stdin = io.StringIO(inp)
    from collections import deque

    # inline solution for testing
    n, s = map(int, input().split())
    base = 0
    optional = []

    for _ in range(n):
        k = int(input())
        arr = list(map(int, input().split()))
        m = min(arr)
        base += m
        for v in arr:
            if v != m:
                optional.append(v)

    if base > s:
        return "NO"

    target = s - base
    dp = 1
    for v in optional:
        dp |= dp << v
    return "YES" if (dp >> target) & 1 else "NO"

# minimal
assert run("1 5\n1\n5\n") == "YES"

# impossible due to base
assert run("2 3\n1\n2\n1\n2\n") == "NO"

# exact match via optional
assert run("2 10\n2\n3 5\n2\n2 4\n") == "YES"

# all equal values
assert run("3 6\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n") == "YES"

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
single forced task	YES	minimal structure
base exceeds target	NO	early impossibility
mix of optional sums	YES	subset construction
uniform tasks	YES	repeated structure handling

Edge Cases

When the total of minimum required values across tasks already exceeds the target, the algorithm immediately rejects without building any DP. For example, a case like n=3, each task having minimum values 5, and target 10 fails before considering optional choices because the baseline is already 15.

When each task has exactly one subtask, the algorithm degenerates into a fixed sum check. There are no optional values, so the DP remains {0}, and the answer depends solely on whether the forced sum equals the target.

When many small optional values exist, the bitset shift operations accumulate dense reachable states. The DP correctly merges them because each shift corresponds exactly to choosing that value once, and repeated shifts naturally account for combinations without double counting.
