There's not really much difference between the top 1000 places, since all that matters is solving all 4 problems. This is the qualification round that goes on for 27 hours, so there is not much pressure to solve the problems fast. The Indian programmers are in a time zone that makes it difficult to get up at 4:30am just to solve the problems a bit faster.
Comparing the performance in the next few rounds would make more sense.
- sgeisenh 13y agoWait, do the results from each round make a difference in subsequent rounds? I didn't take the time to implement a solution to problem C because I felt like it would take too long.
- dllu 13y agoAs long as you qualify, results from each round do not make a difference in subsequent rounds. [0] [0] https://code.google.com/codejam/faq.html https://code.google.com/codejam/faq.html
