Editorial for LCC '21 Contest 1 S5 - Beanland
Submitting an official solution before solving the problem yourself is a bannable offence.

The solution covered in this editorial will use dijkstra's and binary search.
Write a function that takes an argument and returns whether the shortest path between any two nodes is less than after all the edges have been reduced by .
Since , it is sufficient for the function to run dijkstra's times, where each time a new starting node is chosen. If the shortest path from a node to another node is greater than , then the function should return false. If the shortest path between any two nodes is less than , then the function should return true.
Now, we binary search for the answer. If the function returns true for a particular value of , then our upper bound decreases. If the function returns false for a particular value of , then our lower bound increases.
Time Complexity:
