Hi!

I've recently participated in Code Jam to I/O for Women 2021 (does this link work?) and found a bug in the third problem, "Introductions Organization". At least I think so.

Here is what statement says:

1≤M≤50.
1≤N≤50.
1≤P≤100.

Yet in test data (available to download in Analysis section) P exceeds 100 in some test cases (but doesn't exceed 1000).

I don't think it affected many contestants, I mean, who uses fixed-sized arrays in 2021? But I did, and my solution crashed. Changing that array size from 100 to 1000 gets the problem solved in practice mode.

The only way to ask a question I found was by writing an e-mail, I did so, only to get a "No comments" reply more then a day after ("Unfortunately we cannot provide help in solving problems, even after the contest is over, and that includes interpreting statements. I can assure you the problem is correct as written.")

Is there a bug? If it's really a bug, what can I do to get the problem rejudged?

Update:

Thanks to everyone involved :) They fixed it with the following text in round overview:

Unfortunately, there was an incorrect limit in the Hidden test set of Introductions Organization, which we discovered only after the Hidden results were already revealed. The test data was corrected to match the statement that was displayed during the round. All affected solutions have been re-judged and points have been updated accordingly. As a result, ranks may change slightly from what was previously displayed. We apologize for the confusion.

Congratulations on the 8th of March to all women here!

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet:

10th of March, 16:00 UTC:
https://www.hackerrank.com/womens-codesprint-3
The contest lasts for two days, prizes worth $11,000.
Previous women's contest at Hackerrank lasted for a day, contestants' level was rather high: all the tasks were solved by more than 100 persons, though it wasn't that easy.

11th of March, 17:00 UTC:

Lasts for two and a half hours, top-150 are invited to attend Google I/O conference.
Last year's tasks were easier than those at regular GCJ qualification round. I guess the contest was poorly announced, so it lacked participants, all the tasks were solved by 14 persons, and to reach top-150 it was enough to get 45 points out of 100.

UPD:
https://www.codechef.com/MARCH17
Lasts until 13th of March, 10:30 UTC. Top-10 girls are awarded with 300 laddus (inner currency of codechef). Any other month, top-5 girls are awarded the same prizes in case they reach top-100.

UPD2:
There is also one on HackerEarth, it started today and will last a few days https://www.hackerearth.com/challenge/competitive/international-women-hackathon-2017/

Good luck!
