Online Round 1
Online Round 1 consists of 3 sub-rounds, each lasting 3 hours. Competitors who advance to Online Round 1 can participate in any of the 3 sub-rounds, until they qualify to Online Round 2.

The first sub-round will start January 22, 2011 at 18:00 UTC (10:00 AM PST) and end January 22, 2011 at 21:00 UTC (1:00 PM PST).

The second sub-round will start January 25, 2011 at 21:00 UTC (1:00 PM PST) and end January 26, 2011 at 0:00 UTC (January 25, 2011 - 4:00 PM PST).

The third sub-round will start January 30, 2011 at 0:00 UTC (January 29, 2011 - 4:00 PM PST) and end January 30, 2011 at 3:00 UTC (January 29, 2011 - 7:00 PM PST).

Of those participating in Online Round 1, the top-scoring 1000 competitors from each of the 3 sub-rounds will advance to Online Round 2. Competitors who advance to Online Round 2 from a sub-round may not participate in later sub-rounds. Competitors who fail to advance from a sub-round may attempt to advance to Online Round 2 in later sub-rounds.

Online Round 2
February 5, 2011 at 21:00 UTC (1:00 PM PST) and end February 6, 2011 at 0:00 UTC (February 5, 2011 - 4:00 PM PST).

The 3,000 competitors will have three hours to solve the presented problem sets. The top-scoring 300 participants from Online Round 2 will receive an official Hacker Cup t-shirt. The top-scoring 25 competitors from Online Round 2 will be notified via email that they have advanced to the final round at Facebook.

They should have another round after Round 2... selecting top 25 our 3000 is just too arbitrary! Very luck based.

    Опять 2 раза одна и та же информация появилась одновременно =) Как-то звёзды над Codeforces по особому расположены, не иначе.

    Вряд ли они будут final. У жюри кривое решение по третьей задаче (по крайней мере, куча правильных решений не зааксептилась, в том числе моё и Petr'а). Есть подозрение, что они не выбирают минимум в случае, когда есть несколько вариантов всё закрасить (а учитывая из рандомные тесты, такое случается довольно редко). Так что ждём rejudge. Свою систему они может и поправили, а вот писать несколько решений жюри так и не научились.

Taylor Reece I AM DONE WITH THIS CRAP! Input files for chess2 DO NOT match the example. There was no way to parse the input file I received and push it out into something readable. 2 hours down the drain, again!
