I was thinking the same thing - I got a lot of them in a row. If they're using standard techniques for ranking win/loss competitions, they're artificially decreasing the sigma (not entirely correct but, think of it as a margin of error) for no reason.
Funny, a website based on giving out coding problems didn't realize that coding bug. Then again, I've experienced tons of bugs when I was playing with their main software, so I'm not surprised.
- azylman 15y agoAs someone who competed in this contest, that wouldn't be the only bug. There was a lot of bugs in the submission/grading process - so much so that my team got frustrated enough to leave early.
- rvivek 15y agoWe had glitches agreed because the kind of problems we introduced were the first for us - Game simulation. We have been doing ACM style programming contests which works brilliantly, this was an experiment. We know our mistakes and this will rock next time. Thanks for participating.
