Hola, coders!
On Monday, August 15 2022, at 17:05UTC+5.5, Programming Club IIT Madras will be hosting Summer Programming Camp 2022's final contest — SPC Final Contest and we would like to invite all of you for the same.
It will be a combined unrated round for all divisions. It is a team contest for the official participants — you can participate in a team of 2 or individually.
The contest consists of 15 problems [ICPC Style Scoring] to be solved in 150 minutes, in the format of a Speed Programming Contest. We believe the problems will be fun and exciting to solve for you guys :D
The contest is of Div.3 level but with challenging problems in the end. It will provide a good range of problems in terms of difficulty (from very easy problems to ones that can challenge experts), and every problem would be thrilling for the participants to solve.
The prizes for the participants:
- Top 3 teams/individuals from IITM will receive exciting prizes.
- Goodies for 3 random teams :)
- Top teams & first solves from IITM and Codeforces will also be acknowledged on this blog.

Can you please allow teams of 3 for people outside IITM(teams not eligible for prizes).This way we can practice for the upcoming regional with our ICPC team.
Yeah sure, online participants can take part in teams of 3 as well

Please include me in the weekend programming session group..I actually, stumbled upon your channel and started CP...Also, wish me luck!
Are teams from outside the IITM eligible to receive random goodies?
Hi,
Did Problem N have any testcases with $$$N = 10^5$$$ and all $$$10^4$$$ distinct values of $$$h$$$? We think that our code which passed the testcases is actually $$$O(dN + NlogN)$$$ for $$$d$$$ distinct elements, so this probably shouldn't have passed, unless the constant is somehow super low.
Thanks!
Hi socho, I think the case you pointed out was missed out. Our solution was $$$O(N + 10^4)$$$ per test case, we hadn't considered the possiblity of a $$$O(dN)$$$ solution.
Thanks for pointing this out, we'll make stronger testcases in our future contests!
✌️
