It would be great if you could make statement about CCDSAP Scholarship more clear (preferably before the contest starts) , as what will be exact criteria for deciding who gets scholarship and how much.

Waiting eagerly for a fun loaded February Long Challenge 2020 :slight_smile:

What exactly is div1+div2 combined?
Cause the 4th question in div 2 is typically the first in div1?
And is this legit? :slight_smile:

Kudos to @ssjgz for being in the list of setters! Good luck everyone! :smile:

I think the total number of problems solved will be count (Irrespective of the division)

9

Maybe but don’t ya think that will make sense only if the counts are different for both divisions?
Because of the varying difficulty?

contest page -

codechef blog -

@admin @vijju123 please look into this.

13

They are same, don’t worry.

14

ok thanks

You can also submit those easy problems.
Both divisions will be treated equally.
That means if you solve first three problems of div2 then they will be counted in scoring in combined ranklist regardless of your division.
