Google Code Jam 2012
- softbuilder 14y agoI always find out about these things too late. I wish there was a Lanyard for coding contests and the like.
- SamReidHughes 14y agoIt's not too late. There's still 12 hours to do the easy qualification problems.
- axisK 14y agoRegistration this year is open till the end of the qualification round.
- pantaloons 14y agoProblem D (the only nontrivial problem) was actually in an ICPC regional a few years ago (south american perhaps?) so a lot of people will have seen this one before.
- rms25 14y agoNever seen it, its crazy though. So far around 17 thousand people are participating and less than one thousand have submitted an answer to that problem!
- vitno 14y agoWhy didn't I know about this? agh... I always miss these.
- prezjordan 14y agoTo all saying "Ugh no time!" At this point, there are still 7 and a half hours remaining. You can easily qualify (20 points) in under an hour. That being said, #4 is the only one that tripped me up - I'm think the solution is very simple and elegant but all I can think in my head is something along the lines of ray-tracing. Back to the drawing board!
- Drbble 14y agoRay-tracing seems reasonable, and not a lot of code.
- etherealG 14y agowhere did you find that 20 points to qualify?
- dmaz 14y agoPosted at the top of the scoreboard. The FAQ pointed to this for advancement.
- victzh 14y agoThanks for encouraging words, I was not able to solve D (no time left - I started 2.5 hours before dead-line, and did not exercise before), but got 60 points for other 3, enough for 1st round.
- prezjordan 14y agoNice job, same boat as me. I'm excited to see Google's write-up of D. Good luck in Round 1!
- thakrarsagar 14y agodid anybody solve problem d by any chance
- VMunnangi 14y agoYes
- rms25 14y agoTo every one who is participating, what language(or languages) are you using? Java here
