That's not a surprise really. A typical competition may be won by a programmer scoring 90/100 on four out of five tasks and 20/100 on the last one. Such performance at work would likely result in a quick termination.
- emerongi 12y agoI'm pretty sure the competition winners are not one-trick ponies either. They probably can crank out a solution to the last one as well (if given enough time -- like on a job). That's probably not the problem.
