Do you think tourist will be the champion again? =))
Or someone else will be the new king? =))
China namba one
I think longer the contest time, more difficult it is to beat tourist, as there is lesser amount of luck involved. So I think tourist will win by some nice margin today.
I think the leaderboard will look EXTREMELY dramatic. Case in point (Round 3). I have never eaten my words before pceeeeeeee :)
I want to know who prepare problems for them?
They are prepared by a group of Google Engineers themselves
let's see who will get rank 2 this time
My guess 2nd, 3rd, and 4th position will be achieved by: MIFAFA, Radewoosh, Benq, ecnerwala
Hm. I think it’s a time to remember the “pigeon hole principle”…
Why have you written the CF ID of peehs_moorhsum as Miracle03
Click
nothing was clarified there, just tell me both are same ?
Idk only they can clarify but you can look at this-
Rewinding used to == VivaciousAubergine. So he probably registered for GCJ with that username. Now, however, jqdai0815 is using the account of VivaciousAubergine
How do you know that Retired_MiFaFaOvO is using this account?
MingYang Deng told me
Who is xll114514 then ? This seems to be a great plot for a thriller web series ngl.
Yuhao Du aka jqdai0815
They're not same person. They participated in same CF rounds multiple times.
(to clarify: I believe the CF account peehs_moorhsum is fake. And Miracle03's account on other places are peehs_moorhsum).
Any guesses who will be in the 2nd place this time?
Livestream will begin at 16:45 UTC.
i think nxhieu will win.He is the best.
no
A counting problem saved me a spot in R3 despite the relatively low rating. I hope another counting problems in the final!
did Petr not participate in Google Code Jam 2021?
I think he is one of the member of problem setting team of GCJ.
Even if he's not, he's not allowed to participate as a Google employee IIRC.
Suffering from success
Um_nik has had fantastic performance this year.
gl&hf everybody
Good luck Mateusz!
Its been 1 hr 15 min still tourist not even submitted a single problem. WHY?
It's his strategy :)
did he ever have a computer crash?
tourist solves problems in one transaction =)
Finally he submitted.
It's just his strategy, he submitted his last 3 problems at once last year.
Also see his blogpost
Benq is just 25 points away from AK!!
"just" 25 pts lol
The contest has more action than any of the 9 fast and furious movies.
congrats sunset u just breaked tourist winning streak
hidden tests...
20 seconds more.....
The 40pt from the last dataset alone is enough to change everything.
EDIT: This comment was posted before the hidden dataset was revealed. Turns out nobody got the 40pt dataset.
when will we get to hidden results???
Soon. You can follow the livestream.
(After pouring 150min on a single problem A and got 10 TLE verdicts)
I saw you got 10 incorrect attempts during the middle of the contest, but why it is written as correct with 7 attempts now :-?
I think WA on samples don't count XD
Ah so it is counted when showing the number of attempts when the test set is not solved yet, but it is not counted as penalty when the test set is solved.
A bit weird, but okay :')
Who is wxh010910 who got 200 points, in the above list ? UPD: Sorry I didn't saw the GCJ handle column.
Bro.. sunset
F
F
Ohh Nooooooo!
Congratulation sunset for winning Google Code Jam 2021!
Also congratulation to semiexp and scott_wu for the dramatic 2nd and 3rd place, winning it on 13s and 3m before the end of the contest, respectively.
he made tourist's sun set, by the way tourist will still remain all time fav.
Edit : now the 6the position is most desirable position in google codejam finals
Gennady will return better, faster, stronger.
I hope next year onwards GCJ finals return to physical location rather than the current virtual form. Also, FHC 2021 is there. A look at his Wikipedia page will remind everyone how astonishing his legacy is. Wins and losses are part and parcel of everybody's life. He's consistently won the GCJ finals for 7 years in a row competing against the greatest of the greatest competitive programmers. He'll return as a winner. He's the Usain Bolt of his game. The Roger Federer of this sport.
Bruh, gennady's legacy :(
Ah! Its like a new sunrise no wait its sunset
FFFFFFFF
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO tourist NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
but atleast now we know you're human...
Tourist's legacy finally sees its sunset :(
no bro its just a bad day for tourist ,he is all time legend of cp
F :(
Press F to pay respect to our all time legend Tourist.
And some say Break up hurts more.
After 5 challenges to GCJ Finals, I finally got 2nd place!!!
Congrats.
Which problem did you like most? :)
How were you able to keep your composure in the last 13 seconds? You literally came out of nowhere.
I felt bad for Google not having Gennady as their Code Jam's winner for this year. lol
A bit depressed yesterday, even replied the wrong blog lol
But I really enjoyed the problem C. My solution was like: choose (1,2) in the first round. In later rounds, choose (u,v) with maximum score, and the number of maximum later intersections with it is even. If there are multiple ones, choose the one with smallest u+v. It wins about 88% times.
Even if tourist lost, we all still love and respect him!
is he sunset ?
It's disheartening to see , Tourist can't make it eight this year, but everyone will see comeback of GOAT in GCJ'22 :)
