Auto comment: topic has been updated by 244mhq (previous revision, new revision, compare).
Have the cash prizes for Global/Indian winners been discontinued?
When i click on the
Sorted Distancesproblem editorial it says"Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private."..244mhq I noticed that my rating delta for Cook-Off coincides with the fake delta for Starters (there was an issue that temporarily made Starters 30 rated for Div. 1), so I suspect it may be wrong. Please investigate.
Nothing seems off. It's probably just a coincidence.
All editorials are still not out. How to solve Chef Goes Shopping ?
did you got any good solution except CodeChef YouTube video ?
Not yet
If you find any... comment me the same!
Sure.
Xellos and foxy007, why haven't editorials for any of the Div-1 problems been released yet ?. It's highly unprofessional to not release the editorials even after 2 days of the contest. CodeChef_admin kindly look into this.
Sorry, it's my fault, I got delayed. (It'd be unprofessional to completely ignore my actual job instead.)
Sure. (I don't understand why would you even opt for this job if you had other stuff to take care of, just let someone else who has time do it. I mean it's not like you're doing this for free anyways)
Since nobody talks about or solved XORDEGREE (and the editorial is yet to be out), I'll share my solution. My approach is to make the sum of degrees $$$2N$$$ or $$$2N-2$$$. The main observation is that, if the sum is larger than $$$2N$$$, we can reduce the sum by $$$2$$$ or $$$4$$$ without changing the XOR. However, it turned out that there are a few nasty edge cases, and it took me a lot of time to handle all of them. I don't know if it's the intended solution, and I'd like to hear a cleaner one if it exists.
