It is not worth it, he is the most toxic person I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting.

Yeah and they are grabbing it. Good people are getting more than 1 1 0.
And their rank will be more even if difference is 0.0001

I see why u are trying so hard

no be a good sheep and tell everyone where did u got the solution

cause u are so confident, that u dont bother taking input.

Its the same as @everule1

Trying to be a better coder… :kissing::kissing_smiling_eyes: :kissing_smiling_eyes::kissing_smiling_eyes:

Guys, I have asked @tmwilliamlin to provide us with the editorial for the problem. This problem has been in a discussion for a while. He replied that he would think on adding the editorial to this problem as well. Let us wait for some time till he responses on it. Here is the link to that thread -

@l_returns and @everule1

When I read “bug” for a moment I thought I messed up with the checker or input files.

I think everything was already said, just to share my point of view:

  • The tester predicted an small gap in the scores, but since it is intended to break ties, we thought it is ok. The scoring function can be improved e.g decrease the area of the initial cake, however the relative order in the ranklist of RAISINS would be the same. Maybe a different test generation plan could also lead to more difference in the scores, but I think it is valid to ask contestants how to break randomness.
  • Some contestant think that getting a high relative score makes the problem not challenging, i disagree, it requires ingenuity to find the best heuristics to improve the trivial solution.
  • Challenge problems requires to perform some experiments with data, the scores on public test files are available to everyone. If you saw that many coders were getting high scores, you should be suspicious. Is not our fault that you didn’t even tried the problem. Consider those 99 points as a gift for being brave enough for facing the problem and submitting something

If the challenge problem is meant only to be a tiebreaker, then shouldn’t we reduce the points for the challenge problem to 1. Then the challenge problem only compares you to people with the same score in the other problems, and honestly, That would be better.

It doesn’t seem like a bug. Take any challenge problem. You’ll get 0 pts in practice section afaik.

Yes. @I_returns
tenor

The total score being 0 was because of some testing that was happening at that point. It’s been fixed, and all submissions rejudged.
The relative score is still shown as 0 though. That will take longer to fix, and will hopefully be done in a week.
