Please participate and read all problems!
Are you suggesting, there are partial points for solving for smaller subtasks ? xD
those points literally saved me from huge minus like 1557->1587 in last 3 minutes
just gentle reminder. Please check problem's divisions. let's hope, doesn't happen like last time.
imo, tough contest ever!!
One of the questions have subtasks & it's not even mentioned in the announcements ?
Is it even fair for the people who don't open all the questions / rankboard to check if any problem has a subtask?
Open the contest page and scroll down:
By default, every CodeChef Starters contest may have subtasks and hence you should open all problems.
This time we even tried making it more apparent by splitting the subtasks into two different problems with XIN (Easy and Hard) and ZIGZAGTREE (Easy and Hard).
As far as I remember,
Codechef announcements always mentioned specifically if any of the problems have subtasks
Attaching two such instances :-

There is no point in me arguing , but maybe following a single template would be better for regular participants.
fightbot and subtask was easy i could do it in 10 minutes but I was never able to move further than that whole contest
