TCO17 Marathon Round 2
By Nickolas, 7 years ago, translation, In English

The second round of TCO17 Marathon Competition AbstractWars started today. It will run for two weeks, and top 30 competitors will get points which then will be converted to t-shirts and trips to the finals (here are the rules). Besides, this round will have two Data Science Weekly Challenges associated with it (which I still have to come up with). I am the writer, enjoy! :-)

DS Weekly Challenge #7 for the first half of this round is: the person whose score at the Marathon Round 2 mid-point has fractional part* closest to the average of fractional parts of all the scores will get a TCO'17 t-shirt.

*Fractional part of the score will be defined as the last 5 digits of the score (due to the discreteness of the scoring function). I know MM challenges are getting more and more bizarre; for round 3 I'm seriously considering something that involves hashes and edit distances :-)
