1. Abridged Problem Statement

Given N (1≤N≤16) players and a matrix R where Rij=1 means player i always beats j (and Rij=0 otherwise), count the number of knockout‐tournament brackets of minimal height (i.e. exactly ⌈log₂N⌉ rounds, with byes if needed) in which a designated player M wins the final. You must consider every arrangement of players (and byes) in the fixed‐height binary‐tree bracket, and output the total number of such brackets where M emerges champion.

2. Detailed Editorial

Overview  
We want to count all full binary‐tree tournaments of height T=⌈log₂N⌉ in which player M wins. A binary‐tree tournament of height T has up to 2ᵀ leaves; since N need not be a power of two, some leaves are “byes.” Each internal node is a match: its two children are subbrackets, each producing one winner, and then they play; the winner propagates up.

Brute‐forcing all labelings is infeasible—there are (2ᵀ)!/((2ᵀ−N)!·2ᵀ) ways to assign N players to 2ᵀ leaves. N≤16, T≤4, but still too many. Instead, we use a dynamic programming over subsets and sizes, merging two subbrackets at a time.

State definition  
Let dp[s][w][k][mask] = number of ways to form a subtree of height “step” s that uses exactly the set of players in `mask` (a bitmask of size N), has |mask|=k players, and whose winner is w (0≤w<N). Ultimately we want dp[S][M][N][full_mask], where S is the final step index for height T.

We only allow s so that subtrees of size k can be formed in s levels—i.e. s≥⌊log₂(k−1)⌋+1. The maximum s we need is S = ⌊log₂(N−1)⌋+2 = T+1 in 1‐based indexing of levels.

Transitions  
At any step s>0, to form a subtree of size k with winner=w, we pick sizes k₁,k₂>0 with k₁+k₂=k. We must have formed:
  – a left subtree of size k₁, winner x, at some step s₁<s  
  – a right subtree of size k₂, winner y, at some step s₂<s  
such that max(s₁,s₂)+1 = s, and R[x][y] decides the final winner w (if R[x][y]=1 then x wins, else y wins). We combine counts by convolution over masks:  
  dp[s][w][k][mask] += Σ_{mask₁∪mask₂=mask, mask₁∩mask₂=∅} dp[s₁][x][k₁][mask₁] · dp[s₂][y][k₂][mask₂].

Naïvely this is O(∑ₖ 2ᵏ · C(N,k)·C(N,k₁)) and blows up.  

Fast Walsh–Hadamard Transform (FWT)  
To speed up the convolution over subsets, notice that for a fixed pair of states (s₁,x,k₁) and (s₂,y,k₂), the sum over disjoint mask-pairs whose union is a given mask is exactly the subset convolution. One can embed this into a pointwise multiplication if we “lift” all 2ᴺ vectors by applying the binary‐XOR FWT. Under FWT, convolution over disjoint unions becomes pointwise multiplication (for XOR‐convolution), and summation over s₁,s₂ is just summing the products. We do:

  1. For each base dp[0][i][1], we create a vector V of length 2ᴺ where V[1≪i]=1 and 0 elsewhere, then FWT‐transform V.
  2. Whenever we need to combine dpₐ and dp_b (both already FWT’d) to form dp_c, we just do element‐wise multiply‐and‐add into dp_c’s vector in FWT‐domain.
  3. At the end we inverse‐FWT the target vector and read off the coefficient of full_mask = (1≪N)−1.

Complexity  
Each dp‐entry is a length‐2ᴺ vector. There are O(T·N·N) of them, but we only allocate the ones that are reachable. Each FWT/ inverse‐FWT is O(N·2ᴺ). Each vector‐multiply pass is O(2ᴺ). Since N≤16, 2ᴺ=65 536. T≤5, so total work is on the order of a few hundred multiplies of length 65 536—feasible in optimized C++ with bit‐packing and OMP hints.

5. Compressed Editorial

We do a DP over subtree sizes and winners, counting how many ways to form each subtree‐“mask” in minimal rounds. To combine two subtrees, we convolve over disjoint mask‐pairs; using the Walsh–Hadamard (XOR) transform turns that convolution into fast pointwise multiplications. Finally, inverse‐transform and read the coefficient of the full set.
