Hi everyone,
We're excited to invite you all to be a problem setter on HackerEarth for our monthy rated contests.
The process for a submitted problem idea being used in our contests is:
- Submit your problem idea here
- The contest admins will review the submitted ideas.
- If your problem is selected for a contest, the contest admins will reach out and ask you to prepare test cases and an editorial for the same.
- Your problem will go live!
We have three algorithmic contest every month, here is the table:
| Contest | Number of problems | Approximate Difficulty | Length | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 6 | Like Codeforces Div. 2 | 3 Hours | |
| DS and Algo challenge | 3 | Easy to Medium-Hard | 1.5 Hour | |
| Circuits | 8 | One approximate problem and 7 algorithmic, from Very-Easy to Hard | 7 Days | More educational, less competitive, we could use classical problems |
The rate card for setter compensation are as follows :
Currently we don't have enough medium/hard problems, so if you propose a nice problem it may be selected for the upcoming contests.
For further clarifications please feel free to contact support@hackerearth.com
Any intern opening for problem setter and tester for the various Hackerearth hiring contests.
Hi everyone, we're still looking for more medium/hard problems. If you have good problems to propose please feel free to fill up the above mentioned form
this isn’t really relevant but last time i took part in a contest a few problems were literally ripped straight off codeforces (i literally copied and pasted my codeforces submission) so please improve your problem stealing measures so you don’t waste money
Which contest? I can't see any recent contests.
Sorry, why is this not relevant ?
We're mostly focussing on giving different setters a chance in every contest and sometimes people do steal used contest problems which is not always easy to track. But yes, once we realise that a setter STOLE a problem we do penalise them.
So, you need original problems but don't want us inviting setters who would propose them ?
I never discouraged paying setters to propose problems, but when you put money on the line someone's probably going to take shortcuts.
The problem I was thinking of is Segment Cost which is ripped right off Sheikh.
