Greetings Codeforces !
The Computer Coding Club, MNNIT Allahabad, is pleased to invite you to BIT-O-MANIA, a programming contest under the joint Coding Event, HackOdisha 2024 organized in partnership with Webwiz, NIT Rourkela.
Contest Details:
- Start Time: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 9:30 PM (IST)
- Duration: 3 hours
- Number of Questions: 8
- Contest Link: here
- Join our CC club Group to be able to participate in the contest.
- A total prize pool of INR 5000 and exciting goodies for the winners.
There will be a total of 8 problems sorted based on their difficulty. The problemset has been designed to challenge intermediate-level coders. The problems are set and tested by aryan_lem, mittaludit236, uday51, Utsav_Kasvala, BitBard2.O, mr.awasthi_, ayushman18, Shantanu.CPP and Aetherius.
Special Thanks to amansingh27 and Aditya.Rai for testing all the problems and guiding us through out. Also, shout-out to our sponsors MyEquation and roboai.
It will be a solo event, i.e. there will be no team based competition. The participants will have to register through the contest link to be eligible for participating in the contest. The codeforces registration will begin 6 hours prior to the contest start time.
Participants will be ranked according to the most problems solved. Participants who solve the same number of problems will be ranked by least total time, and if need be by the earliest time of submission of the last accepted run. The total time is the sum of the time consumed for each problem solved. The time consumed for a solved problem is the time elapsed from the beginning of the contest to the submission of the first accepted run plus 20 penalty minutes for every previously rejected run for that problem that was not rejected due to Compilation Error. There is no time consumed for a problem that is not solved.
UPD 1 : The contest has been postponed by 30 minutes due to unforeseen circumstances and will now start at 9:30 PM.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
UPD 2: We deeply regret the issue faced in problem D. The test case 6 contained a disconnected graph while the jury's code considered the graph to be connected. Therefore, those who didn't handle the case for disconnected graph got Accepted verdict while those who handled the case got Wrong Answer. The Jury's code was corrected and all the submissions were re-judged."
UPD 3:
Congratulations to the Global Winners!
Congratulations to the MNNIT Winners!
Congratulations to the Winners from NIT Rourkela!

Will this contest be rated?
No this is not a part of regular codeforces contest..
is there any registration part to be counted in eligible participant?
6 hours prior contest start time ,as written on the post.
Sucked in problem D. The problems are so poorly prepared.
Which other problems were poor??
Okay, I've seen so many announcements throughout the contest.
IMHO almost all the explanations were poor.
How to solve problem G?
The editorial will be out soon.
We can use Mo's algorithm.
Can you make the submissions public? :)
Pretty sure the input is malformed on problem F testcase 13. https://codeforces.me/group/hUywLYmr80/contest/556798/problem/F
Using
.readline()gave me RTE, but using.read().split()gave me AC. My guess is that there is an empty line in the input or something similar to that, which messes up any readline solutions.Thank you for pointing out the issue.
It seems the problem was caused by k=0, where I didn’t include an empty line for the leaders. However, I’ve now fixed it.
Thanks!
Funny story, pretty much the exact same thing happened to me on 1314-B - Double Elimination ^. In that problem there is also a $$$k$$$ parameter that can be $$$0$$$ ...
