Great, thanks - in the case I had in mind, only the story is similar

Ended up procrastinating a little too much, so I’ve submitted the Problem Idea P1 (of three) at Problem Idea Submission | CodeChef to light a fire under my @$$ 
Let’s see if it gets a response!
Edit:
Skipped P2 for now as, despite having a working implementation, the Sketch Approach isn’t fully formalized yet, but submitted problem P3

Gosh - got a response from @alei just a few hours later. Looks like P1 has been Approved, so far

Ended up submitting P2 last Tuesday, and it’s already been approved by @alex_2oo8 - that’s 2 out of 3 so far, with a very quick turnaround; kudos to the Codechef Team

P3 is very, very tentatively Approved for February Long(!), though a lot can go wrong between now and then
Where can I find this script?

If my problem gets rejected, do I get any mail notifying that?
Mostly no. Depends on difficulty of problem - for harder problems people did receive feedback in past. For cakewalks? Nopes.

Once you get a campus account you can request admin for that. Its not made public afaik.

Lmao noob
(Jk don’t take this seriously)
I proposed 2 problems in the March.
They got approved on 22nd March and 7th April respectively. I prepared it and sent it, Admin recorded these problems on 28th March and 12th April respectively.
After that I havent got any reply from codechef, I did write a follow up mail 11 days ago. I didnt get any reply. Is there any chance I will get reply or I should use those ideas for another contest ?

Might as well give a quick update while this thread’s bumped
I submitted 3 Problems (P1, P2 and P3) and all were accepted quite quickly.
P3 was CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
P2 I ended up withdrawing as I found a simple “cheat” approach that beat and couldn’t think of any testcases that would scupper it 
P4: (Medium-Hard) : submitted in February 2020; no response.
P5: (Easy-Medium - or maybe plain Medium) : submitted 10th July 2020; no response.
P6: (Medium-Hard; possible plain Hard) : submitted 10th July 2020; no response.
So it looks like I just got lucky with the first three in that I got responses XD

Oops! I thought it was published. Would love to see it when it’s published.

Update: barring disaster, P4 and P6 should be in September Long
Not sure whether there was a backlog of submissions that they had to work through first, or whether it’s the result of me being a squeaky wheel
