I suggest you simplify things.  You seem to think cin does something wrong. 
Write a *current* conforming C++ program with cin and only cin which 
exhibits the problem.  Don't complicate things with a second program using 
scanf.  In general, the use of scanf is discouraged.  WRT conforming:
o your include file is not standard.
o your program will not compile.  A simple cout will no longer be accepted.

My wild guess is that your use of "solve" is misguided.
