Invitation to CodeChef February Long Challenge 2020

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

@admin @vijju123 please look into this.

They are same, don’t worry.

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.

in the form I have a doubt in one of the field

Have you appeared for any Certification examination? *

Choose the highest Level of Certification Examination cleared.

so under this scholarship scheme I hope there is no such criteria(terms and conditions) that we have to give foundation first before giving advanced even if our rating satisfies the the usual criteria given in the usual conditions(like 3*+ for advanced and 5*+ for expert)

can anybody clarify
@vijju123 @admin

@Kushalgoel

What if someone has already paid for 22 march certification exam and is eligible for scholarship through feb challenge? Will he get refund for that? Or it’s of no use then.

indians cheat like anything and
now u gives prizes…only to encourage more cheating…
oh dear codechef…when will u change…
y codechef y???..
even without prizes …people are so desparate and
ask for help everywhere

youtube
courses
whatsapp/telegram
stack overflow
stack exchange

and now u are encouraging …giving offer to ur product just like any other super market does…

please stop applying these business tricks (MBA 101) on students

dont make them do wrong things just for the sake of offer

codechef long looks like a preparation to become a pro cheater

ALL THE BEST…ALL WE DESIRE IS A POSITIVE CHANGE

If I’m not wrong, the “so-called” prize is just a discount/scholarship. Which won’t buy you a gum. Also i read the exam is of duration 3 hours and you won’t be having access to templates. So where’s the point of advantage for cheaters. They’ll probably sit and stare on the ceiling if they somehow manage to get the scholarship, so i think it’s okay. Let them do what they want. Who even cares lol?

On a side note, the way you write something online reminds me of texts from my little brother who is 10 years old ( ‘…’ , ‘y’ , ‘u’ ) no hate

yes exactly thats what codechef wants.
the exam is tough…so less will apply…
if we give discount…then even less talented will apply …
they spend some thousands just because they are gaining some hundreds(EVERY CONSUMER EVER)…
and they wond do well…but codechef would get a lot of money in the form of registrations.

Let’s say i Register for the exam and do not solve any problem. Will my rating get affected?
