The 20 T-shirts mentioned in the post — Are they only for the Indian coders who are in college or everyone who is contesting?

    Only the Indian students currently enrolled in a college are eligible for prizes! However, everyone else can compete but won’t get any prizes :)

      Thanks for the reply. But, how will you verify if a contestant is a college student or not?

What happens if someone qualifies for both TCO India regionals and TCC regionals? Do they receive double reimbursements?

      Oh that's sad! Will the events be held simultaneously or is it possible to participate in both? If not, it's up to the participant to choose the event?

        It's on the participant to choose! The events are held simultaneously but TCC finals will have 1/2 extra problem/problems.

        TCC Finalists are given special treatment at the event ;)

    I've been walking like a pig to the slaughter the whole day, just because I had res = 0, instead of res = 1...

      Haha, many missed that. I made two successful challenges due to it. Even I submitted with ans = 2 initially and later resubmitted after changing it to 1.

Was that rated cuz, the rating hasn't been updated yet and I don't think it takes this long to get updated on topcoder?

    It may be possible that its unrated because the 2nd problem was copied.

      Possible, but it would be nicer if they told so.

        The match will be rated! The ratings will be updated within 2-3 hours from now. Unfortunately the writer and the tester didn't realize the problem already existed! We are extremely sorry for that :) Will take some extra measures to make sure it doesn't happen again!
