+# GCD Permutation Problem Solution
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Given a permutation `p` of size `n`, find a permutation `q` of size `n` such that `GCD(pi+qi, pi+1+qi+1) >= 3` for all `1 <= i < n`.
+
+In other words, the greatest common divisor of the sum of any two adjacent positions should be at least 3.
+
+## Algorithm
+
+The solution uses multiple construction strategies:
+
+1. **Reverse Order**: Try `q = [n, n-1, n-2, ..., 1]`
+2. **Cyclic Shifts**: Try different cyclic permutations
+3. **Brute Force**: For small `n <= 8`, try all permutations
+4. **Systematic Search**: Try various shift patterns
+
+## Implementation
+
+The main algorithm is in `gcd_permutation.cpp`:
+
+```cpp
+#include <iostream>
+#include <vector>
+#include <algorithm>
+using namespace std;
+
+int gcd(int a, int b);
+bool isValidPermutation(vector<int>& p, vector<int>& q);
+void solve();
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Compile the program:
+```bash
+g++ -o gcd_permutation gcd_permutation.cpp
+```
+
+2. Run with input:
+```bash
+./gcd_permutation < test_input.txt
+```
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Input Format
+```
+t                    # Number of test cases
+n                    # Size of permutation
+p1 p2 ... pn        # The permutation p
+```
+
+### Example
+```
+3
+3
+1 3 2
+5
+5 1 2 4 3
+7
+6 7 1 5 4 3 2
+```
+
+### Output
+```
+2 3 1
+1 2 4 5 3
+1 7 6 2 3 4 5
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+The solution includes verification tools:
+
+- `verify_solution.cpp`: Verifies that a given solution satisfies the GCD constraint
+- `test_expected.cpp`: Tests specific permutation pairs
+
+## Complexity
+
+- **Time**: O(n! * n) in worst case (brute force for small n), O(n) for most practical cases
+- **Space**: O(n) for storing permutations
+
+## Notes
+
+- The problem guarantees that a solution always exists
+- Multiple valid solutions may exist; any valid one is acceptable
+- The algorithm prioritizes simple constructions before falling back to brute force
