Meta Hacker Cup Round 2
It's Rabbit Hacker Cup Season! Round 2 begins in under 24 hours on the Hacker Cup site. We hope to see you there after Round 979!
As in previous years:
- To qualify for the human track of Round 2, you must have finished within the top 5000 of Round 1.
- For those competing in the human track, the top 2000 placing participants will win a limited edition Hacker Cup shirt. We'll distribute shirts and share more information about this after Round 3.
- The top 500 placing human-track participants will advance to Round 3.
As always, we recommend taking care to make sure your code is correct before making submissions, and making sure you are familiar with how to run code on large files without trying to paste megabytes of data by hand. I'd highly recommend reading -is-this-fft-'s blog post on this if you haven't. Additionally, one problem this round has especially large input, so we recommend pre-downloading the zip file (and necessary tools to unzip it if you're using Windows) for that problem.
One thing that's different this year is that we're allowing anyone who isn't participating in the human track to register and compete in the AI track for Round 2, even if you didn't compete in the AI track for Round 1. You can register up until the contest begins here.
Good morning, have fun, and we hope to see you on the scoreboard! Hop on over after Codeforces Round 979!
