nice challenge as always. first time i was able to finish. and i think it was a bit steep "learning curve"... pretty "easy" 1-5 and then suddenly heavy optimization on level 6. level7 was ok again :D

@ttieber2_gitlab

Great that you liked it :D

David Trapp

@CherryDT

yes it was really cool

Peter Magdy

@SilverPeter

is there anywhere after the contest where we can see the solutions

Markus Zancolò

@mkuegi_twitter

@SilverPeter if you want i can send you mine... not sure if they are of any help thou :D

there are no unique solutions, so for the big files, it probably doesn't help since you don't want to analyze 3000 lines i guess :D

since we are planning to use the contest for recruiting purposes we don't want to give out the solutions, however you can share solutions with other participants after the contest

i hope those are not whiteboard questions :D

@SilverPeter

@mkuegi_twitter would be great man, we've been stuck on question 4 for 3 hours and just gave up, would love to know the idea behind it

@kiuny

Nope. When you apply for Cloudflight you will need to either have participated at the online contest or take a private contest that might have this problem as well

Is there a possibility to see my stats in a global ranking, not only in my location?

@ogryniuk

Hey, admins. Thanks for the nice contest. I did not have time to finish a level but would like to check if I done it correctly. Would there be a way to do it, similar to the verification we had during the competition and to those you offer in sample tasks?

level 5.1-4 worked fine

so close to getting lvl 6

I would like to give a compliment for the team creating today's classic contest challenge, the PDFs were really easy to understand ^^

@fmarton999_gitlab gg level?

Andrei Gavrila

@kiuny

Thank you :D @kescherCode

Jeremy Kescher

@kescherCode

Just one improvement that could be made for the submission checker: Please ignore additional spaces and newlines. My team got several penalty minutes due to that lmao

Andrei Gavrila

@kiuny

We'll look into that. We shouldn't have had issues with it but we'll double check

cgassner

@cgassner

Quick question, how do the penalty minutes work in the ranking?

Great to hear that you enjoyed the contest. Sadly, it's currently unclear if the contest will be publicly available in the future.

Omar

@Omar507

does top 3 become a prize or something?

Jeremy Kescher

@kescherCode

Quick question, how do the penalty minutes work in the ranking?

They get added to your actual time taken.

@ttieber2_gitlab you were very cooked when you wrote this contest

Daniel Bartholomae

@dbartholomae

Would love to hear how everyone organized? How did the teams actually go about solving the tasks?

cgassner

@cgassner

They get added to your actual time taken.

So the time that is displayed already has the penalties calculated in?

Jeremy Kescher

@kescherCode

Exactly.

Jeremy Kescher

@kescherCode

We'll look into that. We shouldn't have had issues with it but we'll double check

@kiuny What I mean was additional newlines at the end of a file, or additional spaces at the end of a line.

David Adamson

@adamsondavid

Thank you for the great contest! And Congratulations to the winners :) My Team and me are wondering how you were able to finish up so fast. We have joined the event for our third time today and already worked out how to speed up parsing inputfiles, managing version control for levels, etc. What are your secrets for beeing so fast, is it because of the python language, huh? :D

(we are writing java code)

chza210281

@chza210281

Would highly appreciate a solution for level 4. We were close but our approach was way too complex. We are obviously missing something. Thanks

Markus Zancolò

@mkuegi_twitter

@adamsondavid i am also coding in java. made it to level 6 in 58 minutes then got stuck there for 2 hours and finished lvl 7 after 3:45. I think the language can have small effects on the lower levels, but higher up its more important to come up with a suitable algorithm and know how to implement it in your language..
of course i have a (really small) framework for the CCC that reads inputfiles 1-5, and provides everything for writing the output afterwards. its probably easy to rewrite it within 15 minutes but still helps in focusing.
and how to be fast: do bad coding. no tests, no version controll, nothing. i also adapt/break code for lower levels when it helps on higher levels. Its not about building a good product, its about producing the outputs for the current level as fast as possible. so focus on that ;)

just saw the global leaderboard: some folks finishing in an hour is really impressive. congratz!
