I came 143rd (out of 180 in the APAC). <\/p>\n
With 2 minutes to go I started running my code for a test case which if it had passed, would have gotten me ~80th. However I was running debug code, with the debugger attached!
\nA couple of minutes after the comp finished, my code finished running.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I was about a couple of minutes of coding away from getting out the first problem, which would have gotten me ~38th position. Which was close to the cutoff for 36th. Poor concentration during the early part of the comp on my part explains why I failed to see the last little bit until just after the competition.<\/p>\n
However, I plan to keep working on TMD.Algo (which was practically no help in todays competition, of course) and hopefully next year I’ll get to those finals. (Although my best is still 2005, I’m not getting any younger…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
