1) Abridged problem statement
- There are two teams (Berland A and Byteland B) with n players each, all 2n skill levels are distinct, and the stronger player always wins.
- A sortition is a perfect matching between A and B (each A plays exactly one B).
- Count the number of sortitions where Berland wins exactly k more games than Byteland, modulo 1,000,000,009.

2) Detailed editorial
- Let wins(A) and wins(B) be the wins of A and B in the final matching. We have:
  - wins(A) + wins(B) = n
  - wins(A) - wins(B) = k
  - Hence wins(B) = (n - k) / 2, wins(A) = (n + k) / 2. If n - k is odd, the answer is 0.

- Key observation via sorting:
  - Put all 2n players into one array as (skill, team), team = 0 for A and 1 for B, and sort by skill ascending.
  - Any match pairs a weaker earlier player with a stronger later player.
  - When we scan left-to-right, the only way to form a pair at position i is to connect the current player (as the stronger endpoint) with some unmatched earlier player of the opposite team.

- DP state while scanning the sorted array:
  - Let cnt_a, cnt_b be the counts of A and B seen so far in the prefix (before the current element).
  - Let dp[wa][wb] be the number of ways for the processed prefix to have already formed wa A-wins and wb B-wins. Each formed pair consumes exactly one A and one B from the prefix. Thus the number of unmatched earlier A’s is cnt_a - (wa + wb), and unmatched earlier B’s is cnt_b - (wa + wb).

- Transition on current element of team T:
  - Option 1: Leave current player unmatched (to be the weaker in a future pair).
    - dp'[wa][wb] += dp[wa][wb]
  - Option 2: Match current player now (as the stronger) with an earlier unmatched opponent:
    - If T = A, we can match with any unmatched B: candidates = cnt_b - (wa + wb). For each, we form an A-win:
      - dp'[wa + 1][wb] += dp[wa][wb] * candidates
    - If T = B, candidates = cnt_a - (wa + wb), and we form a B-win:
      - dp'[wa][wb + 1] += dp[wa][wb] * candidates
  - Move to the next element; finally increment cnt_a or cnt_b according to the current element’s team.

- Why candidates = cnt_opposite - (wa + wb):
  - After forming wa + wb pairs so far, exactly wa + wb A’s and wa + wb B’s have already been used in those pairs (each pair consumes one A and one B).
  - So among all earlier opponents of the opposite team, only cnt_opposite - (wa + wb) remain available.

- Answer:
  - After processing all 2n players, the count is dp[wins(A)][wins(B)] modulo 1e9+9.

- Complexity:
  - There are 2n steps. The DP table has size (wins(A)+1) × (wins(B)+1) = O(n^2).
  - Total time O(n · wins(A) · wins(B)) = O(n^3) in worst case; memory O(wins(A) · wins(B)).
  - With n ≤ 500, this is fine in C++.

5) Compressed editorial
- Sort all players by strength; a match always connects an earlier weaker to a later stronger.
- Scan left-to-right. Maintain dp[wa][wb] = ways to have already formed wa A-wins and wb B-wins in the prefix, and counts cnt_a, cnt_b of A/B seen so far.
- For the current player:
  - Leave it unmatched: dp'[wa][wb] += dp[wa][wb].
  - Or match it now (as stronger) with an earlier unmatched opponent of the other team:
    - Available opponents = (cnt_opposite − (wa + wb)), because wa + wb pairs have already consumed that many players from each team.
    - If current is A: dp'[wa+1][wb] += dp[wa][wb] * candidates. If B: dp'[wa][wb+1] += dp[wa][wb] * candidates.
- wins(B) = (n − k)/2 must be integral; answer is dp[(n + k)/2][(n − k)/2] modulo 1e9+9.
- Complexity: O(n^3) time, O(n^2) memory; passes for n ≤ 500 in C++.
