Gee Anish! I couldn't agree more with your reply!
@Antriksh - you receive a response based on how interested you are and
how interestingly you state your problem to grab anyone's attention.
Plz bear that mind.

Hello All,
I mainly code in Python, and is quite confused with the IO part.
Well I normally do the following for IO:
f = open('filename','r')
a = f.read()
b = a.split('\n')
Now, depending on the problem at hand, I use a for loop / while loop to
look over all cases and solve them accordingly.

Cool. Compared to your previous query this query is a million times better
in terms of the English used atleast !
So here you go. This is Quick Start Guide. It will explain the overall

Sweta,
Congrats! Good news is your program works perfect. Bad news is I believe
you have hard coded the problem which basically defeats the whole purpose
of the competition. But this is only my opinion based on reading your
program. I may be right / wrong !!

Apparently, it is because of "X won", I wrote "X Won". I thought the

That's some typing ability you've got there. Respect.
Don't avoid loops. The overhead of a loop is miniscule; it'll never make a
difference in codejam. What's more, your compiler can unroll loops if
necessary to optimize the target code. Have a look here:

The website still shows "Coding is now in progress" even though it's clear that

Codejam used to run inside TopCoder, my guess is they felt it was better to
run it themselves. That allowed them to change the competition format and
rules to what they like. I doubt PC^2 can handle the amount of traffic the
