@sumanta1009 kindly bother to reply in the comment section I’ve been desperately trying problem C since 2 hrs just asking for clarification

dhruv788 · July 31, 2020, 4:38pm

I myself has asked some doubts and no one is replying and more over the problems statements makes you guess many constraints on your own

cubefreak777 · July 31, 2020, 4:41pm

Very true , It seems like something is wrong with the problem statement of problem C otherwise there would have been tons of AC’s for such a simple problem

laxman77 · July 31, 2020, 4:42pm

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

ketu2503 · July 31, 2020, 4:48pm

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 !

dhruv788 · July 31, 2020, 4:57pm

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 "

ashwin_2608 · July 31, 2020, 4:58pm

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.

@ssrivastava990 Bhai bass aese hi contest ke baare mein batata raha kar badi meharbani hogi , kyunki maximum time mujhe pata hi nhi hota h ki koi contest ho raha h

dhruv788 · July 31, 2020, 5:27pm

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

phant0m_f0rg3 · July 31, 2020, 5:28pm

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

cubefreak777 · July 31, 2020, 5:31pm

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 ?

dhruv788 · July 31, 2020, 5:34pm

There is a reason why it is unrated

bugs_bunny_001 · July 31, 2020, 5:37pm

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
