Hi,
Would anyone know when will the contest analysis for Round 1A GCJ-2014 be
published online?
Cheers,
PG

Two space-separated integers means two integers not two spaces (integer is in
the plural form, but space is not). Same for N-space separated strings.

I am also not a "programmer". My line of work takes me more into the data
analysis side. I have always been big into problem solving and logic puzzles.
Programming contests is somewhat of a natural extension of that.
The goal of things like Topcoder, SPOJ, Codeforces, Code Jam, etc, is to b
Stanislav,
I completely agree with you!

Interesting someone that isn't a programmer professionally and like this
stuff.

That's funny - pan and paper :) Now, I don't generally eat during competition.
Even snacks they tend to distract more then help. Eat something high in
proteins and Omega oils 3-4 hours before, then banana or something similar
fifteen minutes before. And don't use pans during the competition :)
Trick behind people solving problems in just 10-15 minutes is easy and
difficult at the same time. To solve problem you need two things:
a) figure out how to solve the problem
b) to code up solution as fast as possible.
(b) part is easier - you just need to train implementing solutions as fast a
What you are looking for is some condition (let's call it S) that a good random
permutation will satisfy with high probability, and a bad random permutation
will satisfy with low probability.
Then the solution will be: read in each permutation, and output good if it
satisfies the condition and
Geet,
I know it's sometimes common for people to poke fun at their own
nationality. I don't know if you're Indian yourself, but I'll give you the
benefit of the doubt; with that said, this mailing list isn't a place for
stereotyping people from certain countries. Even if it's your own country,

Thanks Everybody.
Vivek, I assumed the same from the input file while contest, but confused
by wording. But thanks for answering terrible questions, next time please
ignore those questions from *INDIANS*.
Thanks,
Geet

"two space-separated integers" = "There are 2 integers. They are separated

"N space-separated strings" = "There are N strings. They are each
separated by a space"
It really would be unkind of the problem setters to throw abritrary
weirdness into the input file.

I did a lot of investigation during the round. The problem for me was that I
didn't know when to stop - when irregularities I noticed would be enough to get
correct answer. Remembering last year's "Good Luck" (another Mitrichev style
problem ;) I though that to get through you really need to be
I think emotionally being in the middle (definitely not novice, but too far
from top performers) is very difficult. On one hand you know how much you've
put in already, on the other way you see light years you need to put in to get
even a little closer to top performers. Probably even worse then
Hi,
Input description of Charging Chaos program in Round1 A, it says
The first line contains *two space-separated* integers N and L. The second
line contains *N* *space-separated strings* of length L, representing the
initial electric flow from the outlets. The third line also contains *N*
*space
Looks very similar to my solution. My idea was that the bad shuffle might end
up moving too many items back to the left, so I counted how many were in their
original position or left. This should be around 500 for a proper shuffle. It
worked, although it turned out that my instinct was backwards
There's a book called Competitive Programming that has a lot of tips on how to
prepare for programming contests. It's tailored more to the ICPC than TopCoder
or CodeJam, but seeing that the first edition is free, I recommend it.
