Note that schedule have been changed for a New Year contest Good Bye 2014. Round starts at December 30th, 18:00 MSK and lasts for 2 hours 30 minutes. It will also be division combined.
Wait for an announcement for further details. New Year is coming!
Happy New Year !
Pretty excited to take part in a contest and competing with International Grandmasters. I wont be much of a challenge , but thats no excuse for not trying.
Div.1 contestants :/
Red vs Green : May the Force be with you!!!!
no, you don't understand man!
Sorry, but you don't understand...
to cheghad ahmaghi
LMAO HAHAHA
finally gonna be International master :D
In contests page, duration is 02:00.You should fix it.
UPD :It seems you fixed it :)
Thanks.
Last year, Codeforces had also given us the opportunity to change our handles before the last contest. Would that be possible this time too ? :)
It looks like you are wrong, it wasn't before the last contest; check this — usually we have this opportunity at the beginning of the year, but not before the last contest.
So you have to wait few more days:)
No problem, I just wanted the same handle across all OJs. :)
actually it's pretty good to have IGM s in your room coz if u get pretests passed and not getted hacked by them 99% u will get an ACC too
Please brrow me an IGM :)
dis like me ;(
Considering this guy's past posts, it is quite sad that his contribution exceeds mine :(
I am waiting for interesting problems and worthy opponents :)
I hope the New Year mood will be provided ^^
Haha I like the game that dreamoon_love_AA is playing :) good luck.
It's still possible to him do decrease rating.
infact more easier ;)
Yeah, ultimate challenge! Hope to become master! :))
no
Master=)^_^
I scheduled my flight to not miss this round.. And now its schedule changed :(
so change ur flight schedule? :)
Tough Luck! :P
I love how the round was made div 1 + div 2 because users wanted it. I don't think any other site would have done the same.
Oh,you can take part in a chinese contest named bestcoder,it always holds contests for both div1 and div2 participants.
I think he meant that he is impressed by the fact that the admins actually heard the users' opinion and decided to follow it. Something that is quite rare :P
A Pre-Contest problem: Whom does the combined division format favor the most (rating-wise)?
Easy: just look at the past few combined division contests (Good Bye 2013, Bayan 2014 Warm Up, ...).
If Div1 users don't perform worse than expected, they seem to be favored rating-wise.
They must be bottom Div 1 contestants. Solving A,B,C problems quickly is enough to get a good place in division combined contests.
nice to hear the schedule changed. i don't have to code in cold night
Please attach properly commented accepted solution with the editorials. It really helps in upsolving and that is what matters.
We will take that into consideration.
I think this will a interesting contest. Good Bye 2014! Good Job!
I hope that there will be a lot of successful hacks.
Wishing every one end's this year with highest ratings :D
Do not wish the impossible!
If you are laughing, it means some other people crying. It's the rule of universe.
Even if you wish something which is possible, it doesn't mean it will happen definitely. So let's wish for things which are impossible. It looks like you don't understand meaning of wish.
P.S. People these days upvote anything which a red guy says.
And i think that ikbal is right. I can't understand reasons for saying such meaningless things like "i wish everyone have highest rating", "i wish everyone win" and so on. Why don't you say things which make sense instead — stuff like "i wish everyone learn something new in this contest"? Or nobody is interested in improving his level, but only in increasing his rating? :)
P.S. You may just ask MikeMirzayanov to multiply all ratings by 10, then everyone will have highest rating :D
It was time that worse had negative rating, so his rating would be down.
This is the hundreds times I saw things like "You get upvotes because you are red/yellow" or "You get downvotes because you are blue/green/gray". Seriously, you must stop the thinking that people are just a bunch of idiots worshipping any reds. We reds do have lots of downvote for commenting something stupid / rude / thoughtless. The only reason I can see why red users generally have high contribution is that, they generally have good critical thinking and thus have some good points when commenting on topics.
On this, "people wish for impossible things" is your own opinion. Not everyone have to be day dreamer like that. Rational people can wish for things that has low probability (but not impossible). So I don't see anything wrong with ikbal comment.
I agree, now I feel that my comment was stupid :(
eh, what do you think would happen if tourist posted "dis like me ;("
I think, the fact that he never comments anything like that proves my point.
sadly u are correct!!
ikbal and I_love_Tanya_Romanova i got it you guys are right, Let's Learn something more before 2014 fly away :D
GoodBye2014
I don't know this is for good or bad. This contest had to be my first div1 and now it's combined. So, lets see.
If you do well in combined contest, you get huge rating boost :)
Happy New Year! And...I want to know when can I change my account name?
This is my first Good Bye contest in codeforces !!
What was the wrong with these sentence ? Please let me know !! I just said. Can't get bro..
well it's spam and spamming is not allowed :)
A Question? Why Zlobober with Contribution of 129 is not on the Top list?
The Codeforces Staff contribute way too much for them to be compared to us on the Top list.
Hi cheater !
How are you? 9108491 | 9117330
Because he is a part of Codeforces Team, like MikeMirzayanov. His contribution is 187
Come on people why do I get negatives for a question?
because you are cheater ! 9108491 | 9117330
Any score distribution predictions?
Today I've got so many down vote.Around 50.. Largest in my codeforces life:( I was shocked!! But I have refreshed myself thinking that Nobody is perfect all the time and can make mistake any time. This is natural process. Waiting for a good time. Everybody should learn from feedback. May Allah(swt) help me to get back.
eleven down votes here:(
I am stop to say anything but my request to MikeMirzayanov to keep the facility so that user can see who gave down vote. Mainly for visit their Dashboard to check their smartness!!!
COMMENT DELETED
The day after this contest we have chemistry exam(final term exam) But I participate at this contest. I hope good contest and chemistry exam ...
Hope I will be Master(Yellow) in this contest . . .
Considering the rating changes in mixed division contests, that is actually possible (however unlikely).
One of my greatest learning before good bye contest : "**A comment can inverse your contribution.**" :p ... I apologies !!!
:)
:D
Is it possible to change our handles as the previous year ?
It was already asked, read the posts before posting — http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/15416#comment-203352
