Hello! I plan to compete on some contest tomorrow ( I have free time, and this year didn't start with a lot of success on programming competitions and I must fix it :D ) I follow this link Contests and find two interesting competition tomorrow.
First CodeChef
Second hackerearth
I never before participated in competitions at these sites. Can you give me advice,what competiton is better and tell me something about problems and rules. Thanks!
You can also take part in this contest on Codechef, Lunchtime if it suits your timezone :)
It is early for my country (6:30 am) :(
I took part in 3 or 4 Non-CodeChef contests on CodeChef like the one you mentioned, all of the were of poor quality either in terms of problems or statements or tests or multiple reasons combined, since then I only participate on CodeChef's in their own contests (Lunch, Long and Cook-off). So out of those two you mentioned I would prefer the second one.
Now I know that :D I solve all problems in 1h ...
I could do it much faster ,but I read fourth problem about 10-20 times because I don't belive that is so easy and the first problem misread and get wrong answer :(
Maybe I am stupid,how I can see results?
Codechef rarely publishes the rankings link. Here you are: http://www.codechef.com/rankings/RCSN2015
Thanks! 13th place isn't bad,but I don't know why more people didn't solve all problems in 1h.The hardest problem is similar with C div 2 at one competition( simple greedy).
