This weekend, at 16:05 UTC on November 12th, 2017 we will hold Codeforces Round 445. It is based on problems of Technocup 2018 Elimination Round 3 that will be held at the same time.
Technocup is a major olympiad for Russian-speaking high-school students, so if you fall into this category, please register at Technocup 2018 website and take part in the Elimination Round.
The round will be unrated for all users and will be held on extented ACM ICPC rules. After the end of the contest you will have one day to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.
You will be given 7 problems and 2 hours to solve them.
The problems were prepared by Mikhail awoo Piklyaev and me.
Congratulations ITMO and Harbour.Space University teams for winning divisions A and B! It was amazing watching the scoreboard throughout all nine days as teams from New South Wales, Saint Petersburg, Tokyo, among many others, challenged the top spots. Watch the recap here!
``Geometry is the key to success in modern contests'' states Andrey Stankevich, coach of 7 ACM-ICPC World Champions
Lecturing both divisions A and B, Andrey brought a vast wealth of knowledge to the boot camp, and shed light on how to better tackle the problem sets that teams will face in their upcoming regional competitions.
“What technology should we use to analyze big data?” asks Alexey Dral, Head of Data Science School at Corporate University of Sberbank
Leisure day was a full one, with bus city tours, to gaming, to lectures and workshops. We had many special guests Sberbank, including Alexey Dral, who talks about the impact of a boot camp that is not only focused on the coding aspect, but the machine learning, the data processing and the practices that each participant can utilise to become an ACM-ICPC competitor to be reckoned with.
Scholarship Information
We are offering a Scholarship for each of our three tech programmes: Data Science, Computer Science and Cyber Security — fill out the Form for the January 2018 programme start period or the September 2018 programme start period. We will contact you soon. Can't wait to see you here!
On this Saturday I'm giving a lecture on Fast Fourier Transform on Moscow International Workshop ACM ICPC. Due to this I wrote lecture notes which anybody can use as reference for Fast Fourier Transform. I added there almost anything one should need while using FFT in contests. Even if you suppose you know the algorithm I dare you to look this paper through since there still can be some new ideas for you. Also you can see Russian version here.
The round will be unrated for all users and will be held on extented ACM ICPC rules. After the end of the contest you will have one day to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.
You will be given 6 problems and 2 hours to solve them.
Tasks are prepared by me, Konstantin Khadaev. It's my first round on Codeforces. Thanks to zemen, AlexFetisov, vepifanov, and Belonogov for testing problems, KAN for coordination, and MikeMirzayanov for this site and the Polygon platform.
Both divisions will have five problems to solve in two hours.
Scoring: in Div 1: 500 — 1250 — 1250 — 2000 — 2500, in Div 2: 500 — 1000 — 1500 — 2250 — 2250
The problems for this round were prepared by me. Thanks to Daniil (qoo2p5) Nikolenko, Nikita (FalseMirror) Bosov, Alexander (Alladdin) Proskurin, AmirReza (Arpa) PoorAkhavan, Ildar (300iq) Gainullin, Alexey (ashmelev) Shmelev for help in preparations and testing problems, Ann Izyumova for help with translation, Nikolay (KAN) Kalinin for the round coordination and Mike (MikeMirzayanov) Mirzayanov for amazing platforms Codeforces and Polygon.
