Actually time limits r rly tight,otherwise i find it quiet amusing & useful :)
Good news: Codechef has just started using the new cluster from SPOJ :)
problem is that their contest are too long (11 days) and their questions are such that we have to think , write the code and then keep on optimising day and night... it feels quite boring.
You know, that is exactly what coders do at work — think, write the code and then keep on optimising day and night!
At what point exactly has it been made obligatory to participate in the Codechef Long Contests?
That being said, I'm not much into optimizing constants either, but at least this month I didn't have to do that. You do need to have the right complexity, though ;)
As for me, Long Contests were the most favorite online perfomance before I became a part of CodeChef team. Sometimes you have to learn some difficult algorithm during these ten days or write some crazy heuristic for Challenge problem. I find it really exciting.
You should understand that we are trying to cover all difficulty levels of problems to make contest attractive for both beginners and experienced participants. That is the reason why we increased the number of problems up to 10. There are also brilliant editirials for every problem, it is something we miss after some of CF rounds.
So, don't give up and try to do your best every contest. Yes, difficulty level of some problems is very high, but from the other side you have ten days and you are free to choose suiteble time during this period.
Good Luck! :)
On the other hand, I find it most interesting . - It is unique of its kind
The 10 days long duration gurantees that everyone can participate and that too of their own choice of time
Challenge problem makes me solve real world problems that are not completely solvable practically in time
