2026 年 USACO竞赛 第二场比赛铜奖组问题三—Purchasing Milk

On National Milk Day, Farmer John is offering exclusive prices on buckets of milk! He has N (1≤N≤105) deals numbered from 1 to N. For the i'th deal, he is offering 2i−1 buckets of milk for ai (1≤ai≤109,ai<ai+1) moonies. The same deal may be taken any non-negative integer number of times.

You are thinking about Q (1≤Q≤104 ) independent queries. For each query, you have an integer x (1≤x≤109) in mind and wonder what is the minimum cost to purchase at least x buckets of milk.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains two integers N and Q.

The following line contains a1,a2,…,aN.

Each of the following Q lines contains an integer x, representing a query.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

For each query, output the minimum cost on a new line.

Note that the large size of integers involved in this problem may require the use of 64-bit integer data types (e.g., a "long long" in C/C++).

SAMPLE INPUT:

55

In the example above, Farmer John is offering 2 deals: 1 bucket of milk for 10 moonies and 2 buckets of milk for 15 moonies.

The cheapest cost to buy 1 bucket is just the cost of the 1 bucket deal and the cheapest cost to buy 2 buckets is just the cost of the 2 bucket deal.

To get 6 buckets, the cheapest way is to purchase 3 of the 2 bucket deal for a total of 45 moonies.

To get 7 buckets, the cheapest way is to purchase 3 of the 2 bucket deal and 1 of the 1 bucket deal for a total of 55 moonies.

In this example, Farmer John is offering a total of 4 deals for 1, 2, 4, and 8 buckets. For each of the 10 queries, the corresponding output indicates the minimum cost to purchase at least that amount of milk. Sometimes, it is cheaper to purchase more than the specified amount.

SCORING:

Inputs 3-4: N≤2
Inputs 5-8: N≤10
Inputs 9-16: No additional constraints.
