So, I can’t do a write up about the questions until tomorrow (sometime after I sleep post TCO12 R1C), but I did finally finish them. Penalty time of 7:20 (which doesn’t count in qualifying since all you have to do is score 20 out of 100 – and even if all my large inputs fail somehow, I’ll still get 50) – but I had lunch and played computer games for 4 hours or so in between the 3rd and 4th questions. So I think I could have done it in about 3 hours which I think isn’t too bad. At time of writing only 40 people have submitted solutions to all inputs. I think that is kind of low compared to normal, even if it is early days…
New this year was a question with no large input, not that exciting, but still something different.
