I’ve got AC, but it’s too slow and my rating didn’t increase too much.

solution

Do bitwisely. $O(N)$.

Let the given nonnegative numbers be $x_0, x_1, \dots, x_{k-1}$, and there are $n-k$ masked numbers. Let the actual numbers be $a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{k-1}, \dots, a_{n-1}$ and $X$ be the xor-sum of them, then there are $k$ equations: \(\begin{array}{ll} a_i = X \oplus x_i & (i \lt k) \end{array}\). The definition of $X$ is: \(X = \Sigma^{\oplus}\_i a_i\).

Assuming $a_k, \dots, a_{n-1}$ are $0$, the sum of $x_i$ makes $X$, \(\begin{array}{ll} a_0 \oplus a_1 \oplus \dots \oplus a\_{k-1} = X = x_0 \oplus x_1 \oplus \dots \oplus x\_{k-1} & (k \; \text{is even}) \\\\ a_0 \oplus a_1 \oplus \dots \oplus a\_{k-1} = X = x_0 \oplus x_1 \oplus \dots \oplus x\_{k-1} \oplus X & (k \; \text{is odd}) \end{array}\). In the case that $k$ is even, the $X$ is fixed and you can compute the answer. In the case that $k$ is odd, if the $x_0 \oplus x_1 \oplus \dots \oplus x_{k-1}$ is $0$ then $X$ is arbitrary. Otherwise, contradiction. But also, if you have $x_k$, a number which has no constraint, you can use this to make $X$ arbitrary.

Let think about deciding the free $X$ (without $a_k$, and with $a_k$). When $a_k$ is not used, bitwisely do. Count $1$s of the $i$-th bit of $x_k$, and define the $i$-th bit of $X$ according to the result. When $a_k$ is used, do almost same thing, but you sholud take care about how to decide the $x_k$.
