Iemco questions

Great idea of making tough contests. Just give the incomplete problem statements and wrong input/output format. :rofl: :rofl:

This contest is truly unique as we don’t have to find the solution only first we have to find question also…
I am attaching the link of the similar question on hackerrank.

Already tried all possible interpretations for problem C , rage quit !

Metoo, I was like "Yeah Nahi hoga , upar se rating ka jhanjhat bhi nhi h , upar se kuch samajh bhi nhi aa raha , toh rahne hi do "

its been 2 hours 30 min, and there are a total of 100 correct answers, for a single question.
Says a lot, doesn’t it?

Wasted three hours of my life.

Did he really replied, and what do they think , we will mail a doubt and wait for the mail to come for a unrated short contest

For me, he replied twice about doubt regarding constraints and output format.

Codechef should stop hosting garbage contests…all the problems should go through a quality check before the contest is approved. At least make sure that there are no grammatical mistakes and statements give complete information even if problems are uninteresting. Almost 700 teams registered for this crappy contest. Make sure that this never happens again @admin

One of the 6 solutions that I tried for problem C :
k= number of vertices of the convex hull spanning all the given points
c=k/2
is it correct ?

There is a reason why it is unrated

I just wanted to know what you guys did in problem A (Price Hike Strategy - IEMCO01)
What are your codes output to the following testcases

1
10
1 4 3 2 5 6 9 8 7 10

Surely, this is a huge waste of time, bhai isse achha ek pubg match ke liye bula lete sath me khel hi khelna tha to.

I saved myself from the misery.

Just to clarify, more than 1000 teams registered (and wasted their time).

even if its unrated…someone should be responsible for the time wasted of the participants…i have seen plenty such trash unrated contests here…either they should stop hosting such contest or make sure a descent level is maintained.What is even the point of a team contest for 3 low rated problems?
