Thanks for reporting this :slight_smile: Fixed.

I have one question about special Laddus categories (Random, First to solve, Country wise) in the context of Lunchtime contests. Are they applicable here? And if so are they also for school students (as other prizes in Lunchtime contests) or for everyone?

Excited for this ! Wishing everyone high ratings !

Is this a bug or what ?

Those who are submitting code for the problems now , ( which can be seen in recent activity ) but if we go to their profile page , the submission is not being shown :frowning:

Thank you for pointing it out! It has been fixed!

Huh? Did you even read what I mentioned? All I stated was that the issue has been resolved and you try justifying it by stating someone submitted an AC code when the issue persisted. What does “resolved” mean then?

Yes, it was a manual error from our end which was fixed in a while. Apologies for the issue.

Will convey to devs.

What about my question above?

You can read about it here: How do I win a CodeChef Goodie? - #2 by admin

Yes, they are applicable to Lunchtimes as well. And it’s for all the participants, not just for school students.

I read this topic. But I didn’t found there explicit answer to my question, so I decided to ask it here.

Nice, thank you for the reply.

i couldn’t solve a single one :joy:

That was umm… humbling to say the least.

lol i was able to see the first question due to the bug… modified it…and AC, thanks for the epic bug !

This contest should be unrated because someone saw solution due to “view-solution” option and shared it with many people on Watsapp :sleepy:
