When I read the title I was afraid that those "tedious" problems refer to Marathon24, but fortunately it doesn't :). And results are still frozen.

"n extremely tedious O(nlogn) data structure problem E that did not require anything more complicated than a stack and binary search, but needed more than an hour to implement and had a lot of possible plus/minus one errors to make." — I can't agree more :p. Though this problem had this nice feature that it was taken from "real life". I'm sure that almost all of us faced that problem during our lifes :D.

    What's the reason behind hiding results of Marathon24 for so long when there's a lot of people who are eagering to know whether they advanced or not?
