We hope you participated and enjoyed the changes made to monthly Long Contests.

From now on, we will be having the problem statements available in Mandarin Chinese as well

As always, the long contests will start on first Friday of every month and last for 10 days. This ensures that two weekends are covered.

Continuing from there, we bring you the CodeChef October 2013 Long Challenge. The October 2013 Algorithm Challenge is taking place on http://www.codechef.com/OCT13.

Here are the details:

I think this change in rules should also be mentioned here:

  • The score that you will see during the contest will only be partial (obtained on 20% of the test data).
  • The submissions will be re-judged at the end of the contest to get full score (obtained on the whole test data).

Solutions for all problems are being tested on 20% of the test data or only for scoring problem?
