Invitation to Codecraft and Time Limit Exceeded 2010 | Reply
Hello,

I would like to invite you all to participate in the technical fest "Threads" conducted by our university IIIT, Hyderabad. Here are few of the events which I hope the topcoders will find interesting -

1) Codecraft 2010

CodeCraft 2010, the online ACM style programming competition is all set to start on 14th February,2010. Like past contests, we hope to have an interesting and original problemset.

Where : http://felicity.iiit.ac.in/codecraft/
When : 14th February , 2010 , 2 pm - 10 pm IST(GMT +5:30).

2) Time Limit Exceeded 2010

This is an unusual programming event which emphasizes on solving problems under special constraints. The event is based on C/C++ with the scoring depending on factors like code length, deviation from the best available solution, or even the number of semi-colons and whitespaces used.

Where : http://felicity.iiit.ac.in/tle
When : 15th February 2010 2pm to 17th February 2pm (48 hours [2 days]) IST (GMT +5:30).

Forum link of previous contests - 2009,2008,2007
For queries , mailto : codecraft10@gmail.com , tle10.001@gmail.com

[Edit] Fixed the link for the 2007 thread.

I must say that I really enjoyed the TLE contest last year! Although there were some minor issues with the at the beginning of the contest, it went smooth overall and there were some very nice and tricky problems and solutions.

I registered already and will be competing!

I think it's the best time to compete if you love programming.

This is a gentle reminder for the test runs to be held today.

Yes. The contest was good last time. But I seriously think they should not mention prizes. Instead they should say something like "There are no prizes. Just compete if you want to have fun".

I have won some prizes in 2 of their contests last time and money/T-Shirt never reached me. I am not cribbing for the money. I really participated for the fun. But when you mention in the site publicly that, you will send money, then you should send it. Better say that this time you have no plans of sending prize money. I would still compete. But at least it will not look like you guys are making false promises and not keeping it.

Now I see that Bitwise and CodeCraft are on the same day and Bitwise at least sends your prizes.

Well, in our technical festival ( and probably in most Indian universities ) , the technical team responsible for organizing the contest is different from the financial team responsible for despatching the prizes. We did take the details from the participants and sent them to the financial team and hence assumed that the prizes would have been dispatched by now. However, it is very unfortunate that the participants have not received the prizes till now and I, as one of the organizers sincerely apologize for that. Please give us some time to look into the matter and get it fixed. Thanks a lot for understanding.

Contest Over! Wow 8 hours is a long time.

It was a tough problem set (at least for me).

Well I'm interested to know how to solve all the problems I did not solve (CONINT,MATH,SIM,TRF,WGHT).

I had an idea for TRF that included convex hull. Is that correct?
