    I think longer the contest time, more difficult it is to beat tourist, as there is lesser amount of luck involved. So I think tourist will win by some nice margin today.

A counting problem saved me a spot in R3 despite the relatively low rating. I hope another counting problems in the final!

      Even if he's not, he's not allowed to participate as a Google employee IIRC.

    I saw you got 10 incorrect attempts during the middle of the contest, but why it is written as correct with 7 attempts now :-?

        Ah so it is counted when showing the number of attempts when the test set is not solved yet, but it is not counted as penalty when the test set is solved.

        A bit weird, but okay :')

Congratulation sunset for winning Google Code Jam 2021!

Also congratulation to semiexp and scott_wu for the dramatic 2nd and 3rd place, winning it on 13s and 3m before the end of the contest, respectively.

      Spoiler

      I hope next year onwards GCJ finals return to physical location rather than the current virtual form. Also, FHC 2021 is there. A look at his Wikipedia page will remind everyone how astonishing his legacy is. Wins and losses are part and parcel of everybody's life. He's consistently won the GCJ finals for 7 years in a row competing against the greatest of the greatest competitive programmers. He'll return as a winner. He's the Usain Bolt of his game. The Roger Federer of this sport.

A bit depressed yesterday, even replied the wrong blog lol

But I really enjoyed the problem C. My solution was like: choose (1,2) in the first round. In later rounds, choose (u,v) with maximum score, and the number of maximum later intersections with it is even. If there are multiple ones, choose the one with smallest u+v. It wins about 88% times.
