15:24 — Closing ceremony will start shortly and you can watch it on ICPC Live. That's probably it for this translation. Bye-bye, see you soon 15:10 — Moscow SU finished with 6

14:55 — I'll try to ask all top teams about number of problems they had solved right after the contest

14:51 — Tokyo trying to solve 2 almost simultaneously. Were they success?

14:48 — Seems like Gennady submitted B and very nervously walking in backgrounnd while Niyaz working on B. An by the wave of joy it seems they got it

14:28 — SPb SU get I quite likely. They are now seem to work on B

14:18 — Seems like SJTU got E right. Meanwhile tourist is seems to type B currently

14:08 — Based on their reaction Warsaw seems to have got something accepted. I probably would rather focus on video feeds of top teams, sorry for not fulfilling all photo requests

14:05 — Perm State University:

14:03 — Meanwhile target team got B accepted

14:00 — Samara State Aerospace University:

13:59 — Standings would be frozen shortly and I can now focus on photos

13:49 — Seems that all submited solutions of problem G is very far from correct. All of them doesn't consider one of the main cases and very slow. Meanwhile Tokyo got I right and is now in third place

13:44 — Beihang University:

13:31 — Sharif University of Technology:

13:28 — Who would be World Champions? Such a suspence...

13:22 — Kazakh-British Technical University:

13:15 — And here they go! Only G remains unsolved. Michael said, that this problem is only solvable if you dedicate whole contest for solving it. Is he right?

13:14 — Saratov SU:

13:11 — Finally some variety — SJTU solve K. Also Tokyo quite close to correct solution for B

13:07 — At this stage I want to predict that 7 problems would be enough for medal, 8 — for gold, and champion will solve at least 9

13:05 — Taiwan solved problem I with completely rewritten solution, not the one they submitted before

13:00 — Universidad Panamericana Campus Bonaterra:

12:55 — Such a little variety in what problems are soved from team to team is quite uncharacteristic for World Finals

12:51 — South China University of Technology:

12:49 — Target team solved 6 currently

12:47 — While I had lunch ITMO tried to kill what little intrigue there was for this Wolrd Finals...

12:18 — There is problems with photos sometimes, sorry for that

12:15 — Escuela Superior De Computo Instituto Politecnico Nacional:

12:12 — Meanwhile ITMO solving E, while SJTU solving K — quite a diversity

12:10 — National Taiwan University currently solving both I and G, switching forth and back

12:08 — Target team has 4 problems solved — A, C, D and E

12:07 — University of Tokyo error in C is that they do use number of vertices as maximal flow in their Dinic implemenatation

12:00 — Belarussian SU:

11:58 — Top 6 teams are currently the ones that I previewed. Maybe my predictions were not that off after all

11:55 — It seems like teams had reached bottleneck — trio of leaders solved all problems currently solved by anyone. We probably would have to wait for new changes at the top

11:44 — 5 problems are still not solved — B, E, G, I, K.

11:42 — It seems Niyaz currently finishing J for ITMO

11:41 — Novosibirsk SU:

11:24 — Taiwan's error in A was arithmetic one — they thought that 52 * 2 = 102

11:21 — Shahjalal University of Science and Technology

11:07 — ITMO is working on both C and J

11:04 — MIT:

11:02 — University of Tokyo's problem C submission not working when there is single vertex in the graph

10:54 — University of Tokyo:

10:49 — Target team (I will call them like that from now on) currenty solved F after 2 WAs and has 2 TLEs on D.

10:47 — Back to my laptop. I would focus on top team solutions and photos now

10:35 — Sorry for lack of updates — it is quite hard to write from iPad

10:19 — Problem D is solved by ITMO

10:11 — National Taiwan University got first accepted for Problem F

10:00 — Go!

9:57 — Two minute hold

9:51 — You will have mixed pleasure of viewing me in ICPC Live in about 10 minutes, about the time the contest will start

9:45 — I would accept requests for live team photos about one hour into the contest

9:40 — It seems there going to be 11 problems

9:32 — Signature "Do not touch anything" was anounced for the first time today. We would have much more of that for the next half an hour

9:26 — By the way, live has been started, currently teams are introduced

9:25 — Backstage — teams are getting ready to enter the arena

9:18 — Photo from 5 minutes ago

8:54 — Direct link to target-infused team blog

8:46 — Something to read for my Russian-speaking readers

8:34 — What team would you root for? Tell us in comments

8:20 — ICPC Live host getting ready to rumble:

8:15 — Remember, you would be able to send World Finals problems for judjing itself — log in to Kattis. Petr bmerry and meret would try to simulate World Finals participation blogging throughout the experience. I'll try to keep an eye on them as well
