What's the point of starting SRMs at XX:05 if registration still ends at XX:55?

    In case there are any issues with the room assignments, it gives us enough time to fix them or re-run them :)

Isn't Div1 250 just a bit too standard? It is exactly the 0-1 Knapsack with no extra work or thought at all.

Why is Topcoder so confusing? I really cannot understand how to participate/read problems. Any tutorial on how to participate?
