TopCoder srm 708b BuildingStrings

problem

The score of a string is its length multiplied by the number of different characters in the string. For example, the score of “abbcdxc” is 7 * 5 = 35. This is because the length of this string is 7 and there are five different characters: a, b, c, d, x.

Bear Limak wants to find a sequence of strings satisfying the following conditions:

There number of strings is between 1 and 50, inclusive. The length of each string is between 1 and 50, inclusive. The sum of scores of the strings is exactly K. Each character in each string is a lowercase English letter (‘a’ - ‘z’). You are given the K. Compute and return any sequence of strings with the above properties. If there are multiple solutions, you may return any one of them.
