SRM 663 is tomorrow at 11 AM EDT (local start time). I am the author, dreamoon_love_AA and rng_58 are testers, and misof is the language reviewer. Thanks to them for their invaluable help.
Good luck and have fun!

Just curious — did they change rules? Some time ago such announcements were not allowed.
Anyway, thanks for reminding! Looking forward for an interesting problemset :)
Oh, I didn't know about that rule. Now I know for next time. Hope you enjoy the problems!
I have never solved hard problems(srm 659 and TCO 2B) written by you. Hope I can solve it this time 0w0... And I really enjoy your problems. ^_^
Thank you, and good luck tomorrow! (And the week after)
But I can't launch topcoder arena because of some java security problems now. Maybe I can't participate this srm. >_<
Guesses: clear Java cache, try different types of connections in the arena, try the web arena, try different versions of the arena (I've saved some and it helped), reinstall Java, reinstall OS, try a different computer, dance on left leg in moonlight, ask TC support... dig on TC forums for someone else having similar problems.
Come on, it's too simple ;)
As far as I know, there is java-independent web-arena.
Yes. But I'm not familiar with web-arena. So I give up participating it.
Which OS do you use?
I know how to solve the hard problem this time. ^_^ But I can't launch the arena. >_< A sad story.
Not only you, but nobody have solved any of zxqfl's Div1-Hard yet: http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=ProblemArchive&sr=&er=&sc=&sd=&class=&cat=&div1l=3&div2l=&mind1s=&mind2s=&maxd1s=&maxd2s=&wr=zxqfl
Does anyone know if the Topcoder web arena is working properly now? Last time I tried, it is very laggy (cannot load scoreboard most of the time, cannot challenge..)
I used web arena to write two of TCO 2nd rounds this year (including last week) and the experience is a bit painful. First and worst of all it's often lagging on typing in the code, sometimes I type in a full line of code to see it appearing after several seconds. Also in both rounds chrome tab with web arena crashed one or two times per contest. Fortunately the code was safe (at least if you compile it). Also I think there are some bugs there, I've seen once that when contest started it was showing me "XXX opened 500-pt problem, YYY opened 500-pt problem" while people were opening 250-pt problem.
Thanks. I hope unlike most TC authors recently, you take publishing the editorial seriously.
TC has independent editorialists, editorials are usually not published by authors.
Yes but it's not like they force the authors to sit back and watch as the "community" (of which TC is so fond) tries to find the solutions, is it ?
The point is that authors are not obliged to write the editorials. Plus, last SRM had an editorial posted here, occasionally other SRMs have them, and there's always discussion of the problems, which is as good if not better IMO (just not in one place and harder to extract info from).
Agreed.
I figured out a lot of re-submissions on 300 from high rated coders
I'm worry :( Passed :D no worries :D
Fail. I was absolutely sure that my straightforward solution for 550 is O(n2) (and was really surprise to be the first one who submitted it). It is, but for a single test case. Sigh.
I determined it's incorrect, like, 5-10 minutes before the end.
Lol, looks like "systest at 99.94%" means "systest started"... it's been stuck at 99.94% for a while.
UPD: Done. Meh, better than nothing.
Lol exactly my thought... one hell of a percent that last one.
Who else receive strange test result in practice room for D1 550? I receive failed test #3, which is example 3 :| (when I run batch test it passed)
Edit: Nevermind, I got WA3 when I run test individually. I'll never use Batch test from now on..
batch test uses two fields, success and correct example. Your solution passes the case if correct example is true. I hope this was the problem.
This surely looks like correct to me
What was the value returned when you tested individually?
It returns no.
Thank you for your concern, though I'm quite fed up with this & I'm going to sleep now until maybe when my friends wake me up to see the final judge result.
The system test (and practice) results for 550-point problem look wrong.
For the test
{1, 1, ..., 1}
,{1, 1, ..., 1}
,{999999, 999999, ..., 999999}
(length 2000 each), the report goes like:That surely looks like string truncation at some point.
Moreover, the only passed solutions are in Java, so the problem is probably language-specific.
The admins said they are already looking into it.
Removing might be a bad idea, the test case with lots of 1s is an important maxtest.
So, you actually had to change the test cases: e.g., test case 40 which was
[1] * 2000
,[1] * 2000
,[999999] * 2000
became[1] * 2000
,[1]
,[999999]
. Did you have to remove all cases where the output length exceeds a certain limit?In my opinion, it is a shame that the system could not have been fixed instead to handle such cases correctly.
By the way, does MPSQAS still support only Java solutions? Might be no proper way to test for such bugs in advance then, since Java solutions did not seem to be affected.
The setter's solution has to be in Java, the rest can be in other languages AFAIK.
I could have caught the bug because the testers' solutions were in C++, but I neglected to run a final test (I had tested the first time I added data, but when I added those new cases, I didn't). It's unfortunate because it seems like it was just a few characters off, so if I had put Q ≤ 1999, I think it would have been fine.
I think the overall results were unaffected, since maxtests still worked. The problem only manifested itself when every query was identical, since in that case every answer was the full 9 digits.
Funny, this is actually my challenge case for O(n^3) solution.
It was most likely added to the system tests in the end as a successful challenge, that's why the truncation bug on it was not caught before the round.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb.
You've successfully challenged the testing system.
Thanks for your (easy)550, otherwise my rating would have taken a dive that would have made a peregrine falcon downright jealous :D
Idea behind Div21000? Looks like a dp. How to do that?
