I had a very heated debate with Radewoosh about how we should colour-code some of the results.
We both agree that the "Accepted" result has to be green and "Wrong answer" has to be red. But we had slightly different opinions about "Time limit exceeded". Surprisingly we both found people that agreed with our views. I don't want to bias you in any way, so I am not going to say it here, but what colour do you see when you think "TLE"? What about "Runtime Error" / "Memory Limit Exceeded" / "Compilation Error" / "Pending Judgement"?
Do they still take place? The website has been down since forever and I cannot find any info.
The Advent of Code 2022 just started!
Remember when I asked if you would be interested in buying a book about the sports programming?
It's been a long journey and there's even a preprint version of this book sitting on my desk. But then I realized that I would hate myself if I tried to profit from this book. It contains a lot of knowledge that was shared with me by some of the members of this community. Therefore I decided to share the PDF for free, for everyone.
This book is a collection of algorithms and data structures used in sports programming that I found interesting with example problems from various past competitions. I also tried to describe various competitions and platforms. Hope some of you will find it helpful!
Obviously, the book may contain some errors (in particular please note that English is my third language). If you want to help, please let me know about them! I would love to fix them and then share a corrected version in the future. I might even send you a thank-you postcard or a physical copy of this book. The feedback form is available on my website, alongside the book.
In Sharm El Sheikh. It was announced on the stream.
From ICPC regional rules:
The ICPC World Finals cycle is still affected by the pandemic, and the ICPC World Finals Dhaka in November 2022 is for the teams qualified from the regional year 2020/21. To come back on track the ICPC is planning to determine the two World Championships for the regional years 2021/22 and 2022/23 simultaneously at the same event with separate acknowledgement of champions and medalists. The target date for this event is the last week of November 2023.
And further:
A student may compete in only one of these two Championships.
A qualified student on different teams that qualify for ICPC World Finals 2022 and ICPC World Finals 2023 will participate on the team qualifying for the 2023 World Finals. The coach of the team qualifying for the 2022 World Finals may request a qualified replacement. Details later.
In short: "TCO22 Finals has been moved to an all virtual event. Due to the lack of finalists able to join in person, we had to make the call to not have a full scale, in person TCO. "

... will take place in Bolivia! This will be the second time that IOI will be hosted in South America, after IOI 1993 in Argentina!
Join us for another round of our online coding competition and tackle fun problems designed by Google engineers!
➡️ g.co/kickstart.
Round B starts in less than 24 hours (on April 23rd, 2022, at 23:00 UTC)!
As in the previous years, I want to create a list of people participating in the next IOI. Please add participants from your country using this form: https://forms.gle/5J8P4dG8vnUwjBjh7. Feel free to also comment here with their handles for visibility.
The list is available at https://kostka.dev/ioi/22/ .
Lists from the previous years: https://kostka.dev/ioi/21/, https://kostka.dev/ioi/20/ (I know the flags are broken, but I don't want to update them, as the ratings will change as well).
If you see any mistakes, either fill the form again with the correct data or message me.
Thanks!

Hope you'll join us for Round A!
IOI has issued a statement: https://ioinformatics.org/news/ioi-response-to-invasion-of-ukraine/40
In short:
I am curious about what the community thinks of this decision and its repercussions.
Update, 26 April 2022: The delegation from Belarus will be subject to the same restrictions as described above for Russia.
This post will probably become very political, but I am very worried about things happening right now in Ukraine. I know this is not the best place for such discussions, but fuck it, a lot of people visit this website and some things have to be discussed.
Can you please tell me, dear Russians, do people there (you, your friends, and your families) really believe in all the things that Putin says about Ukraine? Are you proud of living in a country that invades a neutral neighbour?
Coding Practice with Kick Start Session 1 is underway!

How junior olympiads (grade 8 or less) look like in your countries? Can you share some info/your experiences/links?
In Poland, we have an annual contest with three stages (first online, second and third onsite). During the first stage, we also have a test checking language proficiency (C++ or Python) and the ability to solve algorithmic puzzles. During the final stage, top X contestants are selected to attend the preparation camp and the EJOI.
Whether you’re looking to practice your coding, prepare for an upcoming interview, connect with a global community, or have some fun — Kick Start is here to help! Round G 2021 starts in less than 24 hours on October 16 starting at 12:00 UTC. You will have 3 hours to solve what you can during the round.
Hope to see you in Round G 2021!
