naija_swag:you participated in code jam once right? |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by skydancer: 4:36pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
Wow, I admit the CodeJam contest is hot!!! |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by skydancer: 4:37pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
Have tried more than 8 different solutions for Problem 3 and I can't still beat the 8 minutes timing! |

I just registered now. I have three hours left. Hopefully I can make the cut. |

a very good C programmer, friend of mine, just told me he is serendipitously up for the next round with only two solutions..... What's up over here?? ". . . Even if you don't scale through, be poud of yourself for understanding at least one question of which 99% of your peers wouldn't. . ." ...#keepbusy |

For those that participated, how did it go? |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by skydancer: 4:33pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
Let's just say it was hot, will soon post my codes on GitHub |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by Otuabaroku: 4:51pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
^^^ Good good. Hope you guys made us proud? I missed it.I was preparing till one week to go before something of higher priority came up; then I have to let go. |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by omotodun1(m): 7:30pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
^ I was able to qualify for next round. I barely qualified though---I started extremely late. |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by Otuabaroku: 8:25pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
Good one omo_to_dun, well done! Just put in your best on the subsequent rounds. |

ọmọ_τó_dùn: ^ What language did you use? Did you solve the lawnmower case? Couldn't even grasp the meaning. I loved the last one (Treasure stuff) but still can't solve the small input, though when I manually check, my answers are correct |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by omotodun1(m): 8:45pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
@skydancer I used Java. I solved the first one(both small and large input) and the third one (only small input; time expired for large because my algorithm was poor). The lawnmower was indeed very interesting. But I'll admit that I didn't understand it. |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by omotodun1(m): 8:46pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
@Otuabaroku Thank you. |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by Otuabaroku: 9:37pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
^^ You are welcome. |
Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by skydancer: 11:37pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
ọmọ_τó_dùn: @skydancer Nice, almost same as me. Believe me, I refined my algorithm up to 8 times, I don't get how to solve the other types, first I had to use Decimal to allow up to 22 digits, in the 2nd large input scenario, I was confident since I was using GMP's ultra fast BigInteger class yet I still didn't beat the 8 mins limit. I had to blame my PC in the end The one I found most interesting was the 4th problem, but I still can't figure out why my solution is wrong... I just committed my solutions to a new branch here... https://github.com/xwiz/csharp/tree/CodeJam2013/ |
