Hi all!
Since nobody has posted about the round yet, I thought I'd open up a page to discuss GCJ Round 1A, which happened earlier this evening.
The scoreboard, problems, and editorials are available at this link. Practice mode should be open now--I'd recommend trying the problems if you didn't compete, since I thought they were generally pretty nice.
It looks like everyone with a score greater than 63 or with a score of 63 and a penalty time no greater than 2:14:05 qualifies for Round 2, assuming that nobody gets removed from the scoreboard later on. Everyone else can attempt to qualify through Rounds 1B and 1C, even if they participated in this contest but failed to qualify.
If nobody posts solutions here within the nearish future, I'll write up and share mine, but as far as I can tell, my ideas were pretty much identical to the ones explained in the official editorials.
