*An individual's _**[user:tourist,2021-11-24] factor**_ is defined as the probability that this person would perform better than tourist in a Codeforces round, as predicted by the [Elo Rating System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system).↵
↵
**Contestants with question marks in their country have not told us which country you wish to represent, and this is my best guess based on your Codeforces profile.↵

Does CF Rating Predict Hacker Cup Performance?↵
==================↵
Here's a graph of the finalists' rating vs. their Round 3 place:↵
↵
↵
So yes, it's a good predictor, but it certainly doesn't explain everything; it's not out of the question that any competitor could have an unusually good or bad contest, as you would expect.↵

Post-Contest Livestream (on Facebook)↵
==================↵

↵
Yep, be sure not to miss all the excitement in the post-contest livestream, during which Zef and I reveal the final scoreboard! Get excited--I'll see you Saturday!↵
