IOI 2013 Dreaming Solution

IOI 2013 Dreaming is put in the additional practice module for Silver. However, the external solution linked is just the IOI 2013 problemset, which has no editorials.. I did solve the problem, but it was extremely complicated and abused DP on Trees. I feel like there is a better way, and I do see much simpler solutions on the submissions page on oj.uz but I can’t understand their code. Where can I find an editorial for this problem?

Is there a link with the editorial & solution attached to it?

idk, but the simplest solutions probably follow the approach described by Michal Forišek

separately, this probably isn’t good practice for Silver – although tree diameter is introduced in the Silver section of USACO Guide, I don’t remember any past Silver problem requiring this knowledge.
