Hi everyone,
We're excited to invite you all to be a problem setter on HackerEarth for our monthy rated contests.
The process for a submitted problem idea being used in our contests is:
- Submit your problem idea here
- The contest admins will review the submitted ideas.
- If your problem is selected for a contest, the contest admins will reach out and ask you to prepare test cases and an editorial for the same.
- Your problem will go live!
We have three algorithmic contest every month, here is the table:
Contest | Number of problems | Approximate Difficulty | Length | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Easy | 6 | Like Codeforces Div. 2 | 3 Hours | |
DS and Algo challenge | 3 | Easy to Medium-Hard | 1.5 Hour | |
Circuits | 8 | One approximate problem and 7 algorithmic, from Very-Easy to Hard | 7 Days | More educational, less competitive, we could use classical problems |
The rate card for setter compensation are as follows :
Currently we don't have enough medium/hard problems, so if you propose a nice problem it may be selected for the upcoming contests.
For further clarifications please feel free to contact [email protected]
Any intern opening for problem setter and tester for the various Hackerearth hiring contests.
Hi everyone, we're still looking for more medium/hard problems. If you have good problems to propose please feel free to fill up the above mentioned form
this isn’t really relevant but last time i took part in a contest a few problems were literally ripped straight off codeforces (i literally copied and pasted my codeforces submission) so please improve your problem stealing measures so you don’t waste money
Which contest? I can't see any recent contests.
Sorry, why is this not relevant ?
We're mostly focussing on giving different setters a chance in every contest and sometimes people do steal used contest problems which is not always easy to track. But yes, once we realise that a setter STOLE a problem we do penalise them.
So, you need original problems but don't want us inviting setters who would propose them ?
I never discouraged paying setters to propose problems, but when you put money on the line someone's probably going to take shortcuts.
The problem I was thinking of is Segment Cost which is ripped right off Sheikh.
Agreed, the checking for a probelms originality could be better.
Inviting new setters is one way to check out diverse ideas and getting more responses allows us to choose from multiple great ideas!
Sorry about the ripped off problems, we usually check problems but sometimes misses can happen just like this even 4 years ago.
To sum up, I think we can all agree with this comment here
I have submitted a problem statement please have a look?
