CodeChef March Long 2020

same thing used to happen in cookoffs
first few are meaninglessly easy
and the rest are unsolvably tough

but i hope this scenario changes as there are 10 days

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:29am

it has 16 after 2 days…
the number of submissions will greatly increase in last 2 days
so surely it will cross 100

The mentality of people is hindering here.
Questions are doable if they try.

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:43am

considering that there were 175 cheaters (only that are caught) in last long div1…
at least half of them would create alts and participate in div 2
so they will contribute to atleast 50 submissions

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:47am

yes sir…
but if a problem has only 100 submissions it will be not so useful i guess

some are new participants (india or foreign) that deserve div 1
some are the ones that are dropped from div1 to div2
some of them will be alts of div1

so it will be not so useful for normal div2 participants i guess

I think the problem is all the questions are heavy, so it’s a bit hard to debug the codes.

I bet editorials will be ready at most one day after the contest.

I wonder what would be the difficulty level of DIv1 questions according to Codeforces difficulty scale.
I don’t think any of them should be below 2200.

I really enjoy post in Comment sections.

I am really enjoying the contest . I guarantee that there will be no plagiarism .There is so much to learn from each and every problem .Codechef , where have you been all these days without cooking these dishes . And also every year , march long challenge will be the most toughest one according to my observation

I am loving this long challenge more than anything <3

well…maybe a little of social interactions worth the try

pulkit_mittal · March 9, 2020, 5:29am

That’s against codechef rules and regulations.

vijju123 · March 9, 2020, 5:47am

Yeah, in fact, they should be posted a few days in advance!

gayatri598 · March 9, 2020, 10:50am

very intrested problems

decipher · March 9, 2020, 11:25am

I think codechef should give some hint for the 4th question atleast they can tell about its future tag

tmwilliamlin · March 9, 2020, 11:27am

Thanks for the suggestion, I shall post the editorials to LAZER and CHEFDAG earlier to make it seem like CodeChef didn’t do a bad job of setting a balanced contest!

decipher · March 9, 2020, 11:28am

That would be like a real birthday celebration

sarodesparsh · March 9, 2020, 2:18pm

Yeah! There’s plagiarism involved too. Sorry for my miscalculation
