going for top 25 is really tough and toughness increase when they have competitor like tourist and all those who have atleast 8-10 year of experience.but in india we start learning c when we are in college.
Yeah Experience Plays Important Role !
I m not the correct user to mention here , and Google codejam is very tough , I don’t know whether is any guy who is from India and finalist too in codejam in any year.
Yes, but after NEP , in future we may selected in finals.
yes NEP is future of india but we missed it.
Yeah, “tourist” is 15+ years experienced player in this world of programming.
you should read about humblefool
I know about one from India, Harsha Suryanarayana. He was ranked 31st in 2008 Google Code Jam World Finals. Sadly, he met with an accident on the night of 15th June 2014 and we lost a world class Indian Programmer. May he RIP.

Oh yes , read somewhere about this legend , RIP.
yes why not practice makes perfect.
Dude, read about who @tourist is. He is really considered to be a programming prodigy. Know about the fact that he won his first gold in IOI merely at an age of 11. Have some respect bro.

Bhai codejam is not like a CF or codechef contest where we will see they stand first. Even Errichto could not qualify Codejam Finals this time. It does not mean, he is not good. He is the bestest coder. Similar is with all the best Indian coders. Timing, penalties everything matters there as only 25 qualify
Trying to mock people is not good man. He may not be top 10 in India but he’s still considerably above you in skill level.
And even top 10 in India are nowhere close to people like Tourist, Petr, Ecnerwala, Um_nik, Egor, etc in skill or speed.
