Couldn't view the problems even 15 mins after the contest started :/
This happened with me in previous contest. This time it worked perfectly.
guys the legend himself mr mike mirzayanov himself participated today or somebody has created a fake account for him on hackerrank ??...chech this out..
Mike Mirzayanov HackerRank
Yes he is the legendary mike.
Yes, it was me :-) Feeling good myself solving problems after a huge delay. Really exciting pastime!
Could someone please give a detailed explanation of C problem i.e. Hackerrank City ?
I couldn't get it from the editorial clearly .
Hi, I'm the #5 of this competition, and #10 is nhho. Thanks!
Congrats for solving the hardest problem first :).
Hourrank-5 was extremely competitive, among top 10 codes, 3 got their last problem accepted in very last minute. And it was really nice to see CF founder Mike in the leader-board.
Hourrank-6 is scheduled on March 1, the problem-setter is Errichto, hope you will join.
Why it is being held on 1st of every month? It clashes with Hacker Earth Monthly easy rounds. :/
Why ratings are updated so slow?
That is better for me, I had desperately contest :D
The tasks were nice, I like the third problem ! Also I think it was great challenge for everybody and HourRank becomes traditional in your calendars. I am waiting next round and hope better result :)
