How to do 1F? I could only think of MST, if we ignore the updates.

    3/4 people did it with a simple $$$O(q x\log^2{n})$$$ (x is unordered map) cheese.

    The two solutions I had:

    1. $$$O(q\log^2{n})$$$ using a segment tree, with a treap stored in each node. Although this is theoretically better than the second solution, it would probably run slower.
    2. $$$O(q\sqrt{n \log{n}})$$$ using square root decomposition and maintaining a fenwick tree for each block. For the $$$b$$$-th block, the $$$l$$$-th element of its fenwick tree stores the sum of all lengths of the elements in the $$$b$$$-th block which are the first of their kind after indice $$$l$$$. This has a very good constant factor and runs in just 600 ms (code).
