I think that the second round is more suited for the europeans (like me) and africans, but not for asians. Anyway, since everyone can compete in the 3 rounds, i think that there won't be a clear easier round. Round 1A is at 3am here, but i'll probably try it. On Sep 10, 12:19 am, Brian Watkins

Apparently the easiest round was 1A. With only 2000~ competitors getting a positive score, and people advancing by just doing a brute force algorithm for A. On Sep 9, 6:19 pm, Brian Watkins wrote: > It looks like I've been assigned to all the rounds: 1A, 1B, and 1C. > Maybe you have, too. > >

I second that. Although I performed miserably and I though I'll have to compete in the morning round after I realized that my large dataset submission was wrong (losing 30 points), I was surprised that I was qualified with only 10 points. On Sep 12, 7:54 am, Vexorian wrote: > Apparently the easi

Having participated in all 3 rounds, I personally thought that round C was the easiest. Of course, round A was the easiest given that you only had to get one small right, but you could not possibly guess you only needed a fast small, so I think people were aiming directly at the larges at first (

Yes, IMO round C was the easiest one, then round B and round A. You can not use brute force or naive approach to solve any large data set in round A, but it's possible in round B and C. Even in round C, problem B is just about some Math calculations. Lucas Piva wrote: > Having participated in al

Yes, problems were easiest in 1C, then 1B, and then 1A. In 1C the shortest time to solve all problems was 30+ mins, in 1B 40+ mins, in 1C 50 mins. On Sep 13, 5:23 am, Huy Phan wrote: > Yes, IMO round C was the easiest one, then round B and round A. > You can not use brute force or naive approach
