TCS codevita pre qual round zone 1 ended for me and…
I was able solve one problem (problem A) out of 6 problems and (some partials) in tcs codevita 2020 which started today, I felt that the contest was tough and corner cassy. Last I checked there were (150 AC submissions in problem B) and 5 AC submissions in problem A(3 of them were mine ;p) after a period of 7hrs. I feel like the contest was tough for everyone, anyways will I make it to the next round with 1 solved problem??
Also how was your round?!!
I felt it was difficult compared to previous codevitas.

Yeah…it was much more difficult than last year and also many questions were way too lengthy and unclear. I was able to solve to solve 3/6 questions.

If the contest has ended, do you mind sharing the problems?

I had this question A, there was so much going on, it’s so easy to miss something and problem B was giving runtime error even though I am pretty sure I am not going out of bounds nor there was any arithmetic exception, it was a messy contest. I couldn’t solve a single one

@sabrecpp Sir, please would you mind sharing the problems? Like how hard were they? even harder than div 1?
So you were the one that solved A,B and E fully?! I was wondering who is this guy haha.

The contest is still ongoing but I could brief you on the level of problems, like A was hardcore implementation, the toughest I have ever solved implementation wise, B was good, I had to refer my old 12th physics NCERT to get some formula sounds odd right 
C was a nice recursion problem, D was the lengthiest graph+dp problem I have ever seen, E was I guess a priority queue problem with some dp (did not manage to pass the cases though) and F was a constraint problem which I guess could have solved by binary search or also some greedy technique, I was exhausted by the time I reached F so really did not give it a good try.

@sabrecpp Yeah bro it did felt difficult solving them. I was able to solve only 1 question completely and 3 other questions which passed public TCs. Let’s see if we qualify. (Fingers crossed !)

There were different sets of questions…I guess I got the easier one 
…Luck played an important role… Was able to get AC for problem A (Constellation), problem C (Railway Stations) and problem D (Minimize the Sum). Btw, there were many who solved 3 questions.
Thank you sir for your replies.They have set the question hard as they are considering it as their main recruitment mode this year.
Thank you sir for your reply

The number of accepted solutions.
hello, I have solved few answers but when I submit it, It is showing time limit exceeded. I am sure my program runs under 1 sec.
I have tried just running a program with only user inputs ,no operations it still took 2 secs to run.
Did anyone able to run it under 1 sec? or is there problem with codevita?
dude can you send a link to your code for Maximize sum, ofcourse after the contest.
Try with C
Are Questions in codevita same for all the participants for that particular zone?
some questions are same basically codevita may have 6 to 12 set of questions (each contain 6) and they randomly distributed.
