- xiphias 11y agoIt's true..maybe 100 is enough. Still, it's an awesome tool.
- dsacco 11y agoWhere did you get that information from? It looks like there are actually hundreds of people who have solved over 500 problems[1]. Which is not to say it is easy, but putting it at only 4 successes makes it much more intimidating. http://uva.onlinejudge.org/index.php?option=com_onlinejudge&Itemid=20 http://uva.onlinejudge.org/index.php?option=com_onlinejudge&...

Don't get me wrong, I love that kind of puzzles, but only for a while. They don't seem to be too hard either. I randomly found this: http://uva.onlinejudge.org/index.php?option=com_onlinejudge&Itemid=8&category=3&page=show_problem&problem=36 http://uva.onlinejudge.org/index.php?option=com_onlinejudge&... which is literally just translating the given algorithm into a programming language of your choice and adding a counter.
