Wow, this time duration is three days instead of two. And may I ask you why?
15th of August in India is Independence day and a national holiday which means free time to code. If I had kept 15,16 then 17th was a sunday and there is no other contest scheduled on Sunday so I am letting infinitum go on for 3 days.
Then congratulations with the upcoming holiday, shashank21j!
Thank You :)
When you'll start to show also a penalty time in standings, not only points?
On your request, developers are on it. Penalty column will be added to leaderboard, but it'll be in effect by end of weekend. So after the contest you'll be able to see it.
That's great news, thank you:)
BTW, just received t-shirt for one of previous Hackerrank contests, looks great and motivates to do my best in future contests:)
Hi, what's penalty time for Ad Infinitum?
submit-startContest or submit-openTime ?
Submit_last — View_first
Thanks.
That seems like a great idea, but only apparently. After a while, dishonest people will just realize that they can simply open another dummy account to view the problems.
People who really want to cheat can beat any system. So what should be my goal?
I only think about ways to help honest programmers.
Statistically speaking dishonest programmers quit too often too soon.
thank you for the great problems and additional 3 t-shirts :).
It's my pleasure to see you participate :) Heartiest congratulations to all 13 winners.
