Thats a really good point. Almost every problem was related to handle time complexity and providing a better algorithm. I enjoyed the problem set. Thanks to all the writers.
I was having my code for Problem B running in 15 minutes but I saw algorithms those just execute all the inputs in a few seconds. So a normal computer, say 1.0 GHz, 512 MB should be good enough to play in code jam On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 3:35 PM, ijacek <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that this contest is not about fast machines but about making > efficient code. > Generally it's not problem to create an input that will take ages to > solve > on bright new hw if you have bad algorithm.
