Thank you for editorial! Previously there was usually no editorial for practice rounds (if you look into 2008), so this is nice development.
Referring to problem "Shhhhh", official editorial states: "One way to handle this is to designate one node to be the master, and to handle distributing the intervals to calculate. This will also be the node that will output the answer. When any other node, going around the cycle from one special point, finds another special point, it will report the distance between them to the master. The master will then tell the reporting node what is the next special point it should start from (or that the calculation is finished, and it should exit)." I don't know how to make it work, as we do not have way of checking if there is incoming message from another node and as soon as Master called "Receive" it is commited to wait for incoming message from that specific node. So, though paragraph above makes perfect sense in real life, within contests as it is now, we can't have master node acting like server - waiting for incoming messages and responding to other nodes.
