Such a post is just unfair towards the organizers. They organize a competition. They do not organize a course. If you really needed an explanation earlier, you could just post a question on this very forum. I bet someone would be willing to give you a full solution with additional explanation on every single step. Including mathematical proofs if needed. He might have even supply a more thorough solution than the organizers supply. It just depended on your initiative.
Plus, learning solutions to some simpler questions one or two weeks before the next round, is almost definitely not enough in order to pass the next round. The next round is harder and demands more knowledge and more experience than that. (Again, this is not a course step-by-step.) If the analysis gives any help - it just might help people who will participate NEXT years in order to pass THE SAME round. It almost cannot help people to pass the NEXT rounds THIS year. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
