Leetcode 2542. Maximum Subsequence Score
Pick k indices to maximize (sum of chosen nums1 values) * (minimum of the chosen nums2 values); the core challenge is trading off a large nums1 sum against keeping the nums2 minimum high. A common pattern is to treat each nums2 as a candidate minimum (by sorting nums2 descending) and greedily maintain the largest nums1 contributions (e.g., with a min-heap) to evaluate the best product.

Divide a sequence of positive integers into non-empty contiguous subsequences. Find the maximum score, where score is the number of subsequences whose sum of elements is at least a given threshold. The sequence, number of parts, and threshold are given as input. Expected time complexity is O(nlogn).
