Such a post is just not fair towards the organizers. They organize a competition. They do not organize a course. And they are not here to serve any of us. If you really needed an explanation for a solution earlier, you could just post a question here in this very forum, and someone would surely have given you his full analysis of the problem.... Plus, you cannot expect to pass round 1 just by learning some solutions a week before. Such competitions demand quite a lot more experience than that. If the qualification round was hard for anybody, the analysis is useful in order to gain enough knowledge to pass the same round in the next years. But it is almost not beneficial in order to pass the next round this year. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
