I think the top coder arena is down since yesterday, can you please have a look?

Also there's a date and day issue, either it should say 10th of July or Thursday...

    I just checked the applet and web arena, both are working. If your Java got updated to Java 11 and you are using Ubuntu, please use https://openwebstart.com/ to make the applet work.

      Thanks for the quick response, but I still can't log into the arena, I access it on a windows system and use the web arena, it just isn't authenticating and seems to get stuck...

      I was able to start the applet by disabling security checks, but it hangs when I try to log in.

      Upd: it seems something was wrong in my internet connection, now it works.

I'm struggling to execute Java applet in my Mac. I tried about 1 hour, but is stuck here:

netx: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file. ( (class "com.topcoder.client.contestant.ProblemModel"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package))
net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file. The application has not been initialized, for more information execute javaws/browser from the command line and send a bug report.

FYI I recently reinstalled my OS, and it's my first time participating afterward. I used this guide (https://opt-cp.com/topcoder-entry/) to install Java Applet.

Did anyone experienced the same?

    We will look into this. (My preliminary guess is that for some reason your solution got killed due to exceeding wall clock limit, and the reported time is the processor time used until that point. This is completely unofficial and with no data, just a guess to give you an idea how something like this may occur.)

    Please email [email protected] with an official request to look into this so that it doesn't get lost, and we'll get back to you once we know what happened.

imo 400 was hackable for multiple people, I'm curious about system tests (if they will catch it). UPD: yes they did

    How does your code perform on inputs where we select the same bag 2500 times in a row? E.g., some too-simple formulas can fail those due to division by zero.

    (If my quick math didn't fail me, a solution that is exactly 98% to solve any single question is about 99.6% to pass one whole 100-question test and about 93% to pass the full systests.)

      Yeah, turns out my local testing did not try out when the bag selection is too unbalanced. Thanks for clearing it up.

Just to confirm, T-shirts will be awarded to the contestants who have a positive score in this round, right? If so, when and where to fill in the shipping information?

Will there be TCO21 Round 3B?

I can see there was one in previous years (2020, 2019, 2017,...) but I can't find one in the TC public calendar.

According to this link, there is supposed to be one. I also saw it somewhere on clist.by calendar, but I can't find it anymore.

Can someone please confirm or deny, whether there'll be Round 3B? Thanks.

How many people are selected for the TCO21 regionals? I received an invite recently because of my TCO round 3 performance.

      You must have participated in the SRMs, that is another track to get to the regional event.

Has anyone received topcoder t-shirts for scoring positive in round 3 of TCO 21?
