Iemco questions

It’s still a BIT question. only things left are if-else statements.

While the exam was running I addressed some questions and ambiguity in announcement.Some participants wrote about in discussion so we hoped people noticed.

Nevermind, it is all done and dusted. Waiting for the editorials. Please post a sample code also so that atleast we can compare and find our mistake.

Obviously we will do that.

Haha, yes. But i think there must be a way to do this without a BIT.

I understand all the concerns, could you please provide the testcases, so that we could see for ourselves how our algorithms were wrong.

Here is my solution of IEMCO01.

We will release test cases,pseudocode,example,explanation ,everything in Editorial.Please wait till that time.We cannot handle everyone’s code in this way.Plz understand our boundaries.

Well, I’m not from the IEMCO team, but let’s give a little time to them, and if it still doesn’t come, we can rant happily :smiley:

We want to convey a serious message that organizing coding competition is not our main job or business.It’s an extra curricular activity.We are pursuing this thing with lots of other assigned task.

We are trying to post editorial before this weekend. Sorry for whatever inconvenience caused for late publishing.

Another thing we want to convey ,one can be a good coder and decent person at same time.

Woah, now that was some serious discussion over a contest. I personally believe that the contest questions could have been better if they were given just a little more time for the language and test cases. Also sometimes people don’t go through the announcement section in an ongoing contest, hence it is advised that the questions should be framed, discussed, tested well before the contest. I would suggest rolling out the editorial would be helpful for people (particularly for the convex hull problem). And also I wonder how come there were so many correct submissions for the IEMCO01 problem after the contest ended. You can frame a new problem and discuss it among your friends or batchmates but for a contest at national (or global) level, such things are considered a waste of time.
Still, cheers to all the organizers :slight_smile:

When the boundary is a triangle, c= 1. The value of c is unique. But there is no such relation between k and c.
