What we really need is a regression based on previous contests predicting the probability that a certain number of coders will have passed a certain score based on performance of coders in similar positions at the present time in the current round.
So the display would say, Time remaining: 1:29:30 Based on current scores and previous contests there is a 75% chance that 500 coders will have 40 or more points 50% chance that 500 coders will have 45 or more points 25% chance that 500 coders will have 51 or more points after final judging. -WildUtah On Jun 3, 2:03 pm, carlop <piovesan.ca...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > during the competition i try to predict how many point i have to score > for pass the round ( solving the easy but unusefull problem ? or try > an hard one, hoping that after same work i can found a solution ?). > > For me it's hard to understand how well are doing other competitor (i > spend a lot of time looking at the "All score" tab). > A small but useful improvement (at least for me) is a small list that > say how many coders have reach at least a certain score, that give an > approximation (maybe some large test case can fail) of the question: > "if i solve this problem now, what's my position ?
