GoogleCodeJam 2022

• Python3 solutions of Google Code Jam 2022. Solution begins with * means it will get TLE in the largest data set.
• Total computation amount > 10^8 is not friendly for Python3 to solve in 5 ~ 15 seconds.
• A problem was marked as Very Hard means that it was an unsolved one during the contest and may not be that difficult.
