Hello CF!
There are few days before IOI-2015 and i think that each coder is waiting it like nothing else.
I think everyone remembers the shocking result from JoeyWheeler (Ishraq Huda) at IOI-2014.
I hope this years IOI will be no worse than the previous one and i am waiting for surprising results from participants.
Let's try to predict TOP-5 participants of IOI-2015.
This is my version TOP-5 of IOI-2015 :
Yuhao Du — jqdai0815
Andrew He — ecnerwala
Jeehak Yoon — HYPERHYPERHYPERCUBELOVER
Yuta Takaya — yutaka1999
Ali Haghani — Haghani
And what`s your version?
P.S: My TOP-5 list compiled without Australian and Russian team because they still have not published their this years IOI team.
Auto comment: topic has been updated by KGZ (previous revision, new revision, compare).
My TOP-5 list: jqdai0815 — Haghani — LiTi — JeBeK — matrix :D
A true patriot.
You don't say xD At least he is a bit realistic (about jqdai0815). :B
if you see their account, you understand they can be in top 5.
they're red and not low-rate red.
A little more patriotic list would be: Haghani — JeBeK — matrix — LiTi — FarbodY :D
Hey!! Farbod is a great guy! I think he has the potential to be one of the top 5 :)
1 — Haghani
this is the only thing that i can predict!
Don't sleep on my favorite two: zxqfl and FatalEagle. I think both of them have a good chance to finish top 5!
My top-5 prediction is KingOfAlgorithms, Ingus, Mjgonzales, tecnomaster999 and Robin_Jadoul :D
.
admitting to breaking the rules again and again :/
1.jqdai0815 2.HYPERHYPERHYPERCUBELOVER 3.ecnerwala 4.Haghani 5.zhj
My list:
What's about rares.buhai? Baklazan?
UPD: I got 4 correct, except winner HYPERHYPERHYPERCUBELOVER though :)
Anyone has any doubt about being jqdai0815 in this list? :D
Whenever I talk about IOI medal with HYPERHYPERHYPERCUBELOVER in IOI studying camp, school or anywhere else, I always tell him and always think he will get top gold with relatively high probability.
He is strong at fast-coding and he can code anything he wants to with plenty of basic knowledge. Codeforces rating shows it. He also has large background with competitive math, Linear Algebra, Calculus or Combinatorics. Even they are excluded for IOI, idea of competitive math or other part will quite help him.
I think most probablitic TOP 5 will be (without order) jqdai0815, HYPERHYPERHYPERCUBELOVER, yutaka1999, ecnerwala, rares.buhai
But it will be depend on much thing like luck.
Also, even low-rated can get 1st place and I hope everyone endeavor for 1st place. random.johnnyh took first place in IOI 2012 but he was orange coder when IOI 2012 held.
" random.johnnyh took first place in IOI 2012 but he was orange coder when IOI 2012 held."
And moreover, it was back in times when tourist participated.
Places: 4, 21, 1, 14, 2. I got 3 correct(
1) jqdai0815
2) ainta
3) Haghani
4) ecnerwala
5) JoeyWheeler
Russian team is being chosen right now, it will be published in four days! Stay tuned :)
I am going to make a bit unusual prediction: none of predictions above guessed more than 2 out of final top5 correctly:)
Aha, I got 4 correct.
Congratulations :)
Results are less surprising than I expected (sorting by CF rating works quite well this year), but anyway you nailed it — once again; I remember how precise was your ACM ICPC WF prediction.
Upvoted for yutaka1999!
Some questions about jqdai0815:
How old is he?
Is the man on his Head portrait himself?
Why is he so powerful?
At least I know who is in the portrait.

I don't think we can meet him on IOI :)
