Anybody else participating in the Google Code Jam? I just saw it today and am giving it a try. I have solved the first two, and am almost done with the fourth.
Yeah I was confused at first and missed the first one three times lol because I didn't follow instructions, tis annoying...I looked briefly into it but couldn't figure out what I was doing.
Thanks, tbh the first two and last problem were fairly easy, but the third was too hard for me lol. I'm guessing that it will get much more difficult though as this was just the qualification round.Google Code Jam is for sure a hard one to compete in, in my opinion. They do make it challenging. Good luck!
Me too. I figured that the qualification registration had closed, even though it says Sunday at some time.I looked briefly into it but couldn't figure out what I was doing.
I think that the qualifications finished thirty minutes ago.Me too. I figured that the qualification registration had closed, even though it says Sunday at some time.
That sucks. I had no idea this was going on. I believe I was late last year as well.I think that the qualifications finished thirty minutes ago.
I racked up 44 points for the 2014 qualification round, so I'll see you in the next round. I would've had more points, but I ran out of time and had a small bug in one of my source code submissions that only allowed me to solve the smaller problemset for the minesweeper.
Haha yeah see you in the next round. I didn't even attempt C, because I didn't really know how to go at it and didn't have much time. D was really easy though so I got that fairly quickly. I finished with 55 points.
Yeah I agree. I was just reading hackernews and got really lucky that I saw it. I think there are like 3 weeks that you can do the challenge, so hopefully I find the time as well.The toughest thing is finding the time to set aside for the competition. I don't know how late I'll be this time. They leave a 2 hour window that you have to hit, and I barely made the first one with over 24 hours. Granted, I forgot about it until there were only a few hours left.
For the qualification round you had 24 hours I think to solve four. And you had to get 25 out of 90 points to get to the next round. Idk what happens for the next round.How much time do you get per problem?
