IceKnight1093's blog

We invite you to participate in CodeChef’s September Long Challenge, starting this Friday, 9th September, 3 PM IST onwards.

Please note, the contest is open for 3 days, i.e, from 9th — 12th September. The Long Challenge will be rated for Div 3 & 4 coders.

Joining me on the problem setting panel are:

The written editorials will be available in the ‘Solutions’ tab of each problem once the contest ends

The video editorials of the problems will be available for all users for 1 day as soon as the contest ends, after which they will be available only to Pro users.

Also, if you have some original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef's contests, you can share them here.

Hope to see you participating. Good Luck!

    You dont need to register for the contest held on codechef platform, just go to contest page and select your division and after that you will see the problems and if you attempted any of the problem then you be considered as a participant for that particular contest otherwise not.

Can anyone please link the copied problem? I remember a div3 problem from Codeforces with the same statement, but I think it asked a different thing, so it must be a different one I guess.

    When I saw that problem during the long challenge, I thought maybe I have seen this problem somewhere else as well. Upon googling a bit I found it link. And yes step 2 in this version is different than that of the copied problem, still don't know why my code for the original problem still worked for the copied version.

      Did the Codechef problem also ask whether the array could be sorted? Or did it give the final array and asked if it could come from a sorted initial array? I can't remember.
