Clashing with AtCoder Beginner Contest 216 :(
:(
How come is it that every time starters end up clashing with ABC even though the target audience for both contests are similar. I mean Atcoder hosts ABC every weekend so you should at least check for clash beforehand after it was brought to your notice for the first time.
Utkarsh.25dec :orz:
Number of problems in each division? Utkarsh.25dec
6 in division 2 and 6 in division 3. Both divisions share 4 problems
Edit — We decided to give one more problem in div3 so there are 7 problems in div 3 now and there are now 5 shared problems
Thanks
In Magical Flips Problem i print
cout<<cnt<<' '<<ans<<endl;instead ofcout<<ans<<' '<<cnt<<endl;But its magically passed sample. got that after 2 WA and 12 min penalty tho xD
the submissions of div2C started increasing so rapidly.:(
Div 2 C
Some guy posted a solution in a "famous for cheating telegram group" and the count of submissions rose to 1000+ from 250 in just 15 minutes.
Utkarsh.25dec, nishant403, infinitepro, satyam343 please have a plag check!
Don't worry, plag check is done in every contest.
Utkarsh.25dec, It seems like rating has been updated and my rank is same as before. So basically the plagiarism detector has literally caught 0 people whereas we can easily see that every last minute submissions are exactly same / leaked.
As far as I know, in codechef plag detector is run few days after the contest has ended. So after the plag check ratings might be re-updated
codechef plag detector is run few days after the contest has ended.
Few years*
This person is literally revealing the solution of problem A,B,C of div2 on Youtube
His youtube account
And his codechef ID
Link he give during the contest of problem C and you can easily see that last most of submission of this problem is totally same as in the given link,
Before half hour of contest end my rank is about 700 and suddenly just after 15 minutes my rank was 1500. This is really disgusting. Due to these cheaters our rank does't give confidence to Newbies like me. I hope it will change in future,
By no means there is 100% way to get rid of cheaters.
The best way to improve is to ignore them and focus on self.
We definitely try to reduce the cheating measures and hoping that it reduces in future.
How?
Kindly give insights on how you currently/plan to tackle these issues.
In Div2 D ( Grid Path ) I started of with submitting a recursion+memorization code ( O(n*n*k) ).. but it TLed at one of the testcase [ I also included the snippet to increase stack memory ]
But writing the same logic iteratively, it passed with (0.18 time).. Though i know that recursive+memo is comparatively slow but never knew it was this slow..
Is this the general case or there's something different with codechef testing system only ??
problem .Grid Path in div2..how can i approach this?.any hint..
