I still haven't received prize money for the 5th place in Newton's Coding Challenge October 2022.
Hey,
Apologies, but the prizes have already been sent. We have re-sent them on your mail id.
Thanks
Ah, I didn't expect to receive it as a voucher. I got it.
Thank you !
You are welcome. :)
Please don't down vote his comment, it was my fault, I just misunderstood.

Holy fcuk wow!
The interface isn't loading for me at all, am I the only one?
Same here not working at all
Not working for me too
Is site down?
Website not loading!
Website is dead-X
Obviously it's unfair to continue this contest, so can you postpone the prizes?
Were some people able to see questions??
Maybe yes, so I guess we must change the problemset.
For a very brief instant I could see the list of problems (but not the statements), and A had 2 ACs.
That's honestly quite impressive.
WEBSITE SHOWING ERROR:(
"100,000 registrations" moment
Well, I registered. How to participate?
upvote me if you cant see the queation, so that I could decrease my anxiety
Not working
rip
Create such a hype to show us how shitty their website....
A bit rude, generally the website is fine.
Agreed. But they looks like they bit more than they could chew.
Well, 'generally' every website is fine, only at the times when there is a high load, you can judge how shitty the website is.
Problemsetting is hard work, it's not fair for problemsetters to have to see hateful comments just because of a technical issue. Every Newton contest that I've seen so far has not had such issues, it's just unfortunate.
hateful comments are for website developers, not problemsetters.
cool sipper gone
500 Rs amazon voucher too! T_T
Error.. Site Crashed.
should have allocated some funds for upgrading the server as well. :)
CodeCrash :X
CodeTrash:X
rip Coderush-X
PLease postpone the contest!
Instead of prizes spend money on upgrading the servers.
swapnil07 is there any update do we have to wait , or will it be postponed to any other day ?
See the update in top of blog
Newton school should offer a cloud computing course to site developers.
Auto comment: topic has been updated by swapnil07 (previous revision, new revision, compare).
How will you make sure that no one have seen the problems ?
Some have even submitted the solutions too for the first problem.
I INVESTED MORE TIME IN MAKING A FAKE FEMALE ACC THAN SOFT DEVS OF NEWTON
Bhookh lgi hai yaar! Nhi hona contest to bta do, atleast khaana hi kha lun. Otherwise, pta chala ki contest abhi hi hoga bs time thoda extend kar diye ho!!
Asking the real questions.
there are some successful submissions for 1st problem and i even can't open the problems! this is unfair
Now that's unfair!
It clashes with cf contest tomorrow.
The "tomorrow" part is from yesterday actually, I believe they have just delayed the contest to 30 minutes after the original time (still today).
Oh okay but the questions are visible.
I think it's today only from 9:30 pm. Just half an hour delay.
Finally the website loaded to show me this a text "something is not right". I already know that kuch naya batao
Happy contest :)
Questions are visible now, but start time is 9 30
Update: The issues in the contest will be resolved by 9:30PM IST, please bear with us. The contest time end time will be extended to 12:30AM IST.What about accepted submissions?
is it started or not ? as it is not for me
Error again? :(
again not working :(
Pls postpone it, It is surely an uneven competition now.
I am unable to run codes!! and i didn't got that extra 30 minutes
Can the authors arrange a pdf of the questions meanwhile?
I can't find whether I could submit my code or not...
At least can you make this round unrated?
Same here :(
Postponing to either tomorrow or next week is the only option left. Resuming the contest will be extremely unfair to those who could not even open a problem.
Questions were visible to some so now they will get a head start. Even if you postpone it to any other date, if the problems are same this would not be a even contest as some of them might have seen harder problems also.
That means whole problemset goes to the dustbin?
Might be used as problemset for practice but I don't think it should be fair to use these problems in a rated contest.
There is no going back now. :\
Auto comment: topic has been updated by swapnil07 (previous revision, new revision, compare).
will there still be prizes?
unrated?
are you guys able to see the questions ????
I could see the first 3 questions, but I can't open the whole problems now.
Ig the prizes would be well spent on making a proper functional website
Also very few people care about the unrated, can you please mention whether the round is unprized?
Isn't there any alternative way to distribute problem statements?
Did they change time to tomorrow?
nope!
are you sure
Complete waste of time.
Cursed_registrations
Is it prized?
That's what I am interested in ≧▽≦.
My mail got spammed, calendar booked, and got automated call lmao for this 🤡 💀 💀
These people send mails and bold the title and first line, something of that sorts, that is so spammy, just write a normal mail ffs
gone again -_-
Upload problem set pdf here :(
they should conduct contest here, as all the discussion are going on cf.
Is it Prized?
If they would've sent just one more mail at 9pm with the problem statements all of us would have got them at the same time :/
2nd problem
Problem Statement Consider the integer sequence A = {1, 2, 3, ...., N} i.e. the first N natural numbers in order.
You are now given two integers, L and S. Determine whether there exists a subarray with length L and sum S after removing at most one element from A.
A subarray of an array is a non-empty sequence obtained by removing zero or more elements from the front of the array, and zero or more elements from the back of the array. Input The first line contains a single integer T, the number of test cases. T lines follow. Each line describes a single test case and contains three integers: N, L, and S.
0<N,L<1e9 S<1e18
Question 2: https://pasteboard.co/HTjU0UKjdSQd.png
but they will spam your mailbox now onwards with new courses.
Has the contest been postponed? Its not clear in the blog (not sure if the update was a previous one)
It's not postponed but unrated.
I doubt anyone was giving this contest for rating.
Sad can't even win those prizes now.
When you cancel your non-existent weekend plans for Rs500 and a COOL sipper and can't even win that :(
sir you forget the newton school tshirt.
Ahhh yes, the fit of previous one wasn't that great for me, so I kinda ignored it.
Noooo, newton coding challenger rating very valuable, only site I am red on :)
true i was aiming for LGM there
Wait, this website have ratings..??
I just find it ironic that they're in the business of training devs.
The site working very slowly, but too unfair to continue this contest...
It's not even opening for me.
Don't reload and wait patiently, then the page will work. (but of course not finely)
Successfully wasted 1 hr...
Successfully wasted 8 new problems...
swapnil07 please share the problemset pdf if possible as we are now sitting idle refreshing the page just to see the problem.
only tab opening is Refer a Friend
lmao
Does their checker tell the verdict on submitting any code? The server goes down every time I make some submission, not sure if it passed the test cases or not!
Auto comment: topic has been updated by swapnil07 (previous revision, new revision, compare).
Bro already 200 people wrote B and 32 wrote C.SO FAIR
Well let's visit errichto then. :|
Coderush is now dead not live
I can watch the statements now, so ofcourse the problemset will change in the new contest?
waiting for this website to open 👴 👴 👴
Can you leave the current contest? I want to solve them just for fun.
Now, it is unprized na?
waited and tried for almost 1.5 hour, now postponed :(
too much promote, too much crash
I postponed my travel plans from this weekend to next, just for this contest. And now it's postponed to next week :(
there is little hope that contest can get postponed again :)
be optimistic
LMAO 🤣
Legend!!!
Was hoping to get that COOL sipper. Now fair!
Can anyone who solved question C(Connected coloring), tell their approach for the same?
$$$2, 12, 30, 56, 90 ...$$$ sequence
$$$f(x) = (2x - 1) * 2x$$$
Can you explain how we are getting this formula?
Why can't we submit problem now?? Please allow submission in practice mode!!!Just debugged heavy code of 5th & can't test it ;(
Btw really nice problems, kudos to problem setters!
what is the logic required to solve B?
Logic is any S will work as long as it is between sum of first L numbers and sum of last L numbers of {1,2,....,N}
Hi, swapnil07! Is it now postponed to 12th April?
Yes
Got it, thanks
waiting till now ;)
Accordingly to the latest postponement (not announced here) the contest should take place today in less then an hour and it doesn't look like it will. Do you still plan to host it at all, swapnil07?
Did this contest even happen lol?
