Reply challenges are usually of very bad quality. Even worse then codechef long challengess.
Not untrue
5.000€ for the first team
Waht? Five euros? I can barely buy a Mcdonalds with this prize money. Is this a joke? Are we beggars or something?
edit: notation differences
But why did they print three zero in the decimal form.
I guess they did
cout << setpricision(3) << 5 ;
Hi NaOH_Frog! Money prizes are 5000€, 2000€ and 1000€ respectively (5, 2 and 1 thousands of euros)
Whoops, funny typo then
In Italy, for numbers, we use "." instead of "," and viceversa
Oh no till now I thought that you guys are Indian lol
Anyway sorry for the misreadings. Contest looks fun though.
It seems like a lot of people were stymied by "The solution file is not correctly formatted" errors. I was able to finally fix mine after a few hours of banging my head by forbidding snakes from going through more than one wormhole. Any insight into what the issue was? I see on discord that some people were actually able to submit valid solutions with more than 1 wormhole/snake.
Same here, spent almost the whole contest getting that error. For the wormholes, I think it has something to do with the snake's length after going through them. That was the issue for me.
