My sad story
By YuukaKazami, 12 years ago, In English

In the Round 2 of the hacker cup, I scored 0 points.

The default folder for my web browser is the one for Round 1(didn't change since last time), and I mistakenly submitted all the output and code for R1 and get 0 score at the end. Maybe because its 5am in China and I am at half-sleep mode.

It is very funny, but I am very sad now >_>...

UPD. I submitted them at gym, A is wrong,BC are right, D got TLE so I tested it by copying another one's accepted code, the output is right. So if I didn't make such silly mistake I would get 90 points. Whatever, I need to watch some anime, play some games to comfort myself T_T.

That's hard luck... but considering your programming skills, I don't doubt you'll qualify for many on-sites in the years to come.

My case is worse... in Round 1 of Hacker Cup, I didn't qualify before I rushed to submit problem 4 by thinking "Oh, right... 3 colors must be enough" without thinking a counter-example. I still had over 20 hours left... and I don't think I'll ever qualify for an onsite. It's my wildest dream, but I think it'll remain forever as such.

    I spent those 20 hour finding a counter example, but I was not successful, those trees are too big for paper and pen later... I still didn't find the algorithm of constructing minimal tree that needs 4 colors, I had no time to do that properly.

    Form editorial:

    We leave the problem of constructing a minimal tree that requires k colors as an exercise for the reader.

    I sympathize with all of you with sad stories ;-)

Try to create the filename as a word of the problem name (e.g. if the problem name is "Auto Complete", you can create auto.cpp) instead of generic A.cpp, B.cpp, etc. This will reduce the probability of submitting the wrong file :)
