Certainly wasn't a simple hackercup. I participated in both rounds so far, the first one was a mess, I tripped off the 6 minute timer reviewing the questions on my iPad in the morning, without even downloading the input files! Maybe I should have read the enourmos set of instructions before, but I did it for the fun, and reading long t&cs isnt my idea of weekend fun. The next round was even worse, thankfully I spotted pretty quickly no one was solving the starcraft problem, an obvious problem to attract starcraft fans, and there are enough of those in the programming community. So gave that a miss and moved onto the others. Looks like most people got caught out on that problem, which was a real shame. They need to reset this round and start again to be fair, but I'm sure given how upset a lot of competitors were the server load won't be the same next time.
