It promises to deliver on an interesting set of algorithmic problems with prizes up for grabs. The contest is open for all and those, who are interested, are requested to register in order to participate.
Check out the local time in your City/Time Zone here.
Good Luck! Hope to see you all on the scoreboard.
Looks like people are loosing their handles a lot :P
mugurelionut becomes a Problem Tester.
Is he finally fed up with competing with North Korean cheaters? =)
He's also a setter, of the challenge problem. So he did compete on the challenge problem, in a sense.
I'm imagining the checker of the challege problem to contain something like "IF COUNTRY == NK && TESTING == FINAL: BAN"
may be they cheat because they get jailed/executed if they don't do well in contests :P
Vasia Antoniuk has codeforces handle!!

UPD: He is last problem setter
Edited.
I can only see 8 problems, but from this post there are 10 of them. Where are the last 2 problems?
They do this sometimes. Probably will add the last 2 problems in 1-2 days.
Sometime they add more problems as the contest progress :)
One of them had a mistake, found a day before the contest, so it got delayed; it looks like it could be up today or tomorrow. The other... well, let's hope it will get added.
So far, you can focus on solving my problem :D
One problem has been added
I am struggling with this solution for Rohith and Circles problem. Particularly, I do not understand where the line
yl=(.25*((1.0/r4)-(1.0/r3)))-rs;comes from. (This is the y-coordinate of leftmost circle after transformation).Maybe someone can help me to figure out this? Thanks.
