Since it was the first edition of Codenight, we would like you to share your opinion in the comments about the contest. How was the level of difficulty for the problems? Should we've added more number of problems?
Is it rated ?
Its a team contest, so most probably not.
Right!
The contest begins in less than 3 hours! Register soon.
Nice Contest guys! Did the problem "A Not-so-easy Task" had a greedy solution cause my idea was that sum of all previous terms won't exceed the current one leading to a greedy approach. Unfortunately ran out of time :(
Glad that you liked the contest :)
Yes you are correct! The greedy approach would indeed work due to the same reason that you mentioned.
