No info about the type of problems?!..looks mysterious anyway we will find it out 2mmrw…waiting for a quality one!
Hope I can solve 1st question!
As far as I know all of these setters are known for freaking hard problems, so be prepared
Codechef seems to be alternating in Easy and tough long challenges these days. Easy ones are easy af and hard ones are very tough.
Feb - V easy
March - V tough
April - V easy
May - V tough
June - Easy
“alei round”
Alei rounds are tougher than alex rounds
I hope this is not again that unbalanced long challenge, where people could hardly solve 4 problems
Balanced long challenge does not exist.
People would say either it is hard or easy.
when was the last time someone said long challenge is balanced.
I am not telling that. Just see June Long, so many people solved upto 7 problems and see May Long 4th question had just few hundred submission. Balanced here means, almost some are able to do atleast subtasks of the last few problems.
indeed i felt it too that last month’s long challenge was very easy… first 5 problems of were like free 500 points and challenge was the only tough thing. GUESSG was easy up till 75 points and CONTAIN was a basic convex hull problem.
But that was not the case with div1.
looks like i missed all the very easy ones yet then
True. There were no DSA problems. Every question was a puzzle and logic based except CONTAIN (In Division 2). And tbh convex hull is not a very tough algorithm. That was the first time I learnt the algorithm, and I was able to solve the question in one try.
Hoping to see some questions based on data structures and implementation this time!
After this long challenge i will have to go to a psychiatrist
Can someone Please help me with this…
