UPD. please dont be confused, this post is about goodbye 2023, not about hello 2024

Because when I pressed the room button, it opened the first room and not mine. I demand to make the round unrated because many people couldn't get the points for hacking, I know other people who had the same issue.

Please don't use the nested spoilers, don't place multiple spoilers near each others, and don't put any link to the author's code after the spoilers. That's because spoilers aren't easy to open from mobile, especially when there are other spoilers and links around.

When it comes to writing a ternary search, what you usually do is this:

repeat 30/60/100/200 times {
    double lm = l + (r - l) / 3;
    double rm = r - (r - l) / 3;
    if (f(lm) < f(rm))
        r = rm;
    else
        l = lm;
}

I recommend everyone who still writes like this to read this article . It will improve your ability to fit nested ternary searches. Also, I hope I don't need to explain why it is strictly better than the shown code.

Please, refrain from writing in the comments "but still their code works and is accepted!!1!".

In an upcoming job interview, I am going to present myself as an exceptional candidate. The question is: how to explain to the recruiter that winning SWERC and solving 1662K - Pandemic Restrictions without receiving any penalties makes me an outstanding engineer?

the recruiter is from the 30u30 Forbes list btw

  1. A straight line may be drawn between any two points.
  2. Any terminated straight line may be extended indefinitely.
  3. A circle may be drawn with any given point as center and any given radius.
  4. All right angles are equal.
  5. If two straight lines in a plane are met by another line, and if the sum of the internal angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the straight lines will meet if extended sufficiently on the side on which the sum of the angles is less than two right angles.
