        I'm sorry, but I'm missing how this is solved without knowing P and Q? In the example, where does P=5 Q=8 come from?

          Among all possible positions of X, it seems like choosing P=5 Q=8 is the best solution in this case. So, P=5 Q=8 is not a given, it's a particular solution to this test case that the author calculated somehow, I think.

            Since u said we have to print the 'minimum' amount he has to spend, in the first test case if X = 6 then he spends only $3. So isnt that supposed to be the 'minimum' instead of 5 which is given?

                if the box that needs the most money to find was 7 for example and it costed him 10 because there is a chance that the box with the candy is the one that costs the most to find.
