Virtual Farewell IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
By cjchirag7, 5 years ago, In English

Due to COVID-2019 breakout, we weren't able to give a farewell to the Batch of 2020. But, through this contest, we have tried our best to create creative and entertaining problems to give a virtual farewell to the Batch of 2020.

We feel pleasure to invite you to the IIT (ISM) Virtual Farewell . The contest will take place on Sunday, June 14, 2020 at 21:00 (IST). Registrations for the contest have begun. You can register for the contest here.

There will be a total 10 problems, in increasing order of difficulty and you would have 3 hours to solve them.

The theme of all the problems will be the campus life of IIT (ISM). The contest consists of questions of all difficulty levels so that students from all years can participate. Although the contest is unrated, you would surely enjoy all the problems. We promise that the editorial would be released soon after the contest, so that you also get to learn something from it.

The problems for this contest were prepared by the following $$$2^{nd}$$$ year students of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad — Hypnos, Its_Easy, chefpr7, rath772k, will.earn.you, thenainesh, Sanket_17, ujju_sucks and me. Thank you for the rigorous testing and suggestions.

I also thank MikeMirzayanov for the amazing platforms- Codeforces and Polygon. Special thanks to Sanket_17 for his creative ideas and images for each question. Without you all, it would have been impossible to organise this contest.

Coordinator: cjchirag7

Enjoy the contest !!

    SRM these days are not a big deal I guess because participation is very low.

      Yes I'll give the contest for sure, and yes make editorials using proper trace of the algorithms used (like the class notes). If possible please mention pseudo codes in the editorials.

    And a point to mention sir, codeforces accepts code and not "Pseudo Code". See you on the (hopefully top of) leaderboard.

Honestly, I found the tasks boring. I solved first 6 so I will talk about those only.

B and C were fine for their level. D was a standard problem. E and F were just implementation tasks.

Nevertheless, I appreciate the efforts and thanks for the contest!

      Well buddy, sadly he would have missed the fun part even if he had started from the end because there was no fun part. Copying problems and adding stories to the statements is not funny.

    All the tasks were not aimed for div1 coders. We actually wanted the contest to be more balanced so that no one would leave in between (it happens a lot in unrated contests). If you wanted to challenge yourself honestly you could have started with last 5 questions like many other div1 coders did, those questions actually took a lot of time to prepare. Thanks for your feedback though!!
