While Patrick was gone shopping, Spongebob decided to play a little trick on his friend. The naughty Sponge browsed through Patrick’s personal stuff and found a sequence _a_1, _a_2, …, a__m of length m, consisting of integers from 1 to n, not necessarily distinct. Then he picked some sequence _f_1, _f_2, …, f__n of length n and for each number a__i got number b__i = f__a__i. To finish the prank he erased the initial sequence a__i.

As I work with students I often face the situation when if a problem doesn’t seem clear to a student at the first sight, it makes them unable to solve it. Indeed, you always hear about specific methods and techniques. But you don’t hear about how to think in order to apply them. In this note I’ll try to sum up my experience of solving programming contest problems. However, some pieces of advice will also be applicable for olympiads in mathematics and your first steps in academic research.
