+3536\. Maximum Product of Two Digits
+
+Easy
+
+You are given a positive integer `n`.
+
+Return the **maximum** product of any two digits in `n`.
+
+**Note:** You may use the **same** digit twice if it appears more than once in `n`.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** n = 31
+
+**Output:** 3
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+*   The digits of `n` are `[3, 1]`.
+*   The possible products of any two digits are: `3 * 1 = 3`.
+*   The maximum product is 3.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** n = 22
+
+**Output:** 4
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+*   The digits of `n` are `[2, 2]`.
+*   The possible products of any two digits are: `2 * 2 = 4`.
+*   The maximum product is 4.
+
+**Example 3:**
+
+**Input:** n = 124
+
+**Output:** 8
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+*   The digits of `n` are `[1, 2, 4]`.
+*   The possible products of any two digits are: `1 * 2 = 2`, `1 * 4 = 4`, `2 * 4 = 8`.
+*   The maximum product is 8.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+*   <code>10 <= n <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>

+3537\. Fill a Special Grid
+
+Medium
+
+You are given a non-negative integer `n` representing a <code>2<sup>n</sup> x 2<sup>n</sup></code> grid. You must fill the grid with integers from 0 to <code>2<sup>2n</sup> - 1</code> to make it **special**. A grid is **special** if it satisfies **all** the following conditions:
+
+*   All numbers in the top-right quadrant are smaller than those in the bottom-right quadrant.
+*   All numbers in the bottom-right quadrant are smaller than those in the bottom-left quadrant.
+*   All numbers in the bottom-left quadrant are smaller than those in the top-left quadrant.
+*   Each of its quadrants is also a special grid.
+
+Return the **special** <code>2<sup>n</sup> x 2<sup>n</sup></code> grid.
+
+**Note**: Any 1x1 grid is special.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** n = 0
+
+**Output:** [[0]]
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+The only number that can be placed is 0, and there is only one possible position in the grid.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** n = 1
+
+**Output:** [[3,0],[2,1]]
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+The numbers in each quadrant are:
+
+*   Top-right: 0
+*   Bottom-right: 1
+*   Bottom-left: 2
+*   Top-left: 3
+
+Since `0 < 1 < 2 < 3`, this satisfies the given constraints.
+
+**Example 3:**
+
+**Input:** n = 2
+
+**Output:** [[15,12,3,0],[14,13,2,1],[11,8,7,4],[10,9,6,5]]
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2025/03/05/4123example3p1drawio.png)
+
+The numbers in each quadrant are:
+
+*   Top-right: 3, 0, 2, 1
+*   Bottom-right: 7, 4, 6, 5
+*   Bottom-left: 11, 8, 10, 9
+*   Top-left: 15, 12, 14, 13
+*   `max(3, 0, 2, 1) < min(7, 4, 6, 5)`
+*   `max(7, 4, 6, 5) < min(11, 8, 10, 9)`
+*   `max(11, 8, 10, 9) < min(15, 12, 14, 13)`
+
+This satisfies the first three requirements. Additionally, each quadrant is also a special grid. Thus, this is a special grid.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+*   `0 <= n <= 10`

+3538\. Merge Operations for Minimum Travel Time
+
+Hard
+
+You are given a straight road of length `l` km, an integer `n`, an integer `k`**,** and **two** integer arrays, `position` and `time`, each of length `n`.
+
+The array `position` lists the positions (in km) of signs in **strictly** increasing order (with `position[0] = 0` and `position[n - 1] = l`).
+
+Each `time[i]` represents the time (in minutes) required to travel 1 km between `position[i]` and `position[i + 1]`.
+
+You **must** perform **exactly** `k` merge operations. In one merge, you can choose any **two** adjacent signs at indices `i` and `i + 1` (with `i > 0` and `i + 1 < n`) and:
+
+*   Update the sign at index `i + 1` so that its time becomes `time[i] + time[i + 1]`.
+*   Remove the sign at index `i`.
+
+Return the **minimum** **total** **travel time** (in minutes) to travel from 0 to `l` after **exactly** `k` merges.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** l = 10, n = 4, k = 1, position = [0,3,8,10], time = [5,8,3,6]
+
+**Output:** 62
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+*   Merge the signs at indices 1 and 2. Remove the sign at index 1, and change the time at index 2 to `8 + 3 = 11`.
+    
+*   After the merge:
+    *   `position` array: `[0, 8, 10]`
+    *   `time` array: `[5, 11, 6]`
+    
+| Segment   | Distance (km) | Time per km (min) | Segment Travel Time (min)  |
+|-----------|---------------|-------------------|----------------------------|
+| 0 → 8     | 8             | 5                 | 8 × 5 = 40                 |
+| 8 → 10    | 2             | 11                | 2 × 11 = 22                |
+
+    
+*   Total Travel Time: `40 + 22 = 62`, which is the minimum possible time after exactly 1 merge.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** l = 5, n = 5, k = 1, position = [0,1,2,3,5], time = [8,3,9,3,3]
+
+**Output:** 34
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+*   Merge the signs at indices 1 and 2. Remove the sign at index 1, and change the time at index 2 to `3 + 9 = 12`.
+*   After the merge:
+    *   `position` array: `[0, 2, 3, 5]`
+    *   `time` array: `[8, 12, 3, 3]`
+    
+| Segment   | Distance (km) | Time per km (min) | Segment Travel Time (min)  |

+| 2 → 3     | 1             | 12                | 1 × 12 = 12                |
