AtCoder Heuristic Contest (AHC) is a new series of programming contests that will be held regularly on AtCoder. Unlike algorithm contests such as ABC/ARC/AGC, the goal is to create a better solution to a problem for which it is difficult to find the optimal solution. We are planning to hold a long-term contest with a duration of more than a week and a short-term contest with a duration of less than a day, alternately about once a month.
AHC uses a new rating system that is different from the existing ABC/ARC/AGC rating system. Unlike the ABC/ARC/AGC ratings, AHC rating does not decrease even if contest performance is poor. Please feel free to participate. You can check the current ranking here: https://atcoder.jp/ranking?contestType=heuristic
We are looking forward to your participation!
Bump to keep this announcement visible in the "Recent actions", 7 hours left until the contest start.
An earlier CF announcement would be good. Maybe two days before a contest?
Yes, it would be good. Though these blogs are more useful for discussing problems after contests. And unlike ABC/ARC, there doesn't seem to be much interest in such discussions for AHC yet. I can explain my solution, but it only got me rank 312 (out of 760 participants) with 4,088,602,361 points.
