Why no teams this year?
Contest is Rated on Codechef. And I don't think its possible to host a Rated team contest on Codechef.

When will you publish the editorials?
For problem "Correct Bracket Sequence", if you added assert(N%2==0) in AC solution, you will get RE. I waste more than one hour on debug my solution of this problem...
Extremely sorry for that. I was the tester of that problem. 1 file was added today, and I didn't check it using assert statement.
So you don't want to rejudge all submissions?
I have talked with our POC at Codechef. He is looking into the matter and would tell us what to do next. Until then I'll have to wait. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Rejudge is over! No penalty is given because of the incorrect input file. You have moved up to 3rd position. Congratulations!
Again, I apologise for the inconvenience caused by it.
The answers for HIGHINT are actually incorrect. You must also divide by Prob[Exactly K barmen are hired], as we are using bayes' theorem. I spent so much time trying to get the answer in sample tests, when my solution was always correct :/
Sorry, we used the term "expected" ambiguously. But in the explanation of the 2 sample cases, we gave the formulae for the answer. So I hope that wasn't much of a problem.
But we are extremely sorry for the ambiguity.
