@hmehta Please provide the contest link here
Hey! You can either compete using the Web Arena or the Java Applet: https://www.topcoder.com/community/arena
Need to register and compete from one of these. There is no specific contest link :)
@hmehta Thanks !
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 :)
draft of the editorial
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?
That is because the problem is more about skipping garbage and figuring out what is the problem itself.
As it is often in real life.
C'est la vie
