Will you please look at my code once… I cannot spot the error in this.https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/36691206
I don’t know how to solve this
When will the ratings be updated?wasn’t a good one for me so just curious to see how much i got dropped.
After long , it is written in announcement section of the contest
Answer for N = 7 is 7.
Initially: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].
Perform (6,7): [1,2,3,4,5,42,42]
Perform (4,5): [1,2,3,20,20, 42,42]
Perform (4,6): [1,2,3,420,20,420,42]
Perform (5,7): [1,2,3,420,420,420,420]
Perform (1,7): [420,2,3,420,420,420,420]
Perform (2,7): [420,420,3,420,420,420,420]
Perform (3,7): [420,420,420,420,420,420,420]
Yes there should be a rejudge
Please do not rank participants on the basis of the other 4 problems. In winning strategy, my comment went unanswered (it still is). I asked if the same number can be picked multiple times (because it was CLEARLY mentioned that we can pick any number). Due to this, I got WA. Although a change was made (I don’t know when), I had to assume that you cannot pick the same number multiple times, which was not mentioned anywhere in the statement and I got AC. You can’t just update it in the announcements thinking that we will keep checking. We have a RATED contest to focus on. For such an easy problem, the weak statement forced me to waste a lot of time deciding what assumptions I should make. I also had to constantly check the comments section. For a problem that can easily be solved in 5 minutes with zero penalties, I solved it in 32 minutes with 1 penalty. It will be extremely unfair for my rating to decrease due to inaccuracies in your end. Please take this into consideration.

Also making the ranklist on the basis of the other four problems is extremely unfair to people who spent a lot of time thinking on the second question.

Any edge cases for the problem Special Power String would be highly appreciated. I have tried it almost 7 times now… Got WA every single time.
Here is my code:

When rating will be updated ?
After August Long Challenge
So rating will be updated according to current rating or rating after August challenge?
current rating I guess
Probably never as contest is very likely to be declared unrated
The solution for HELPHAND turned out to have a flaw, and so the problem will have to be scrapped. Since this affects a lot of users, the contest is being made unrated. We apologize for the mistake.

Has it happened in the past that a rated contest was declared unrated because of the reasons akin to this contest?
i am fairly new to this platform.
(lol, i wish it is rated because it got a very good rank in it.)
Will you guys be revealing the division 1 rank list ?
Thanks for replying !
