Solutions, analysis, and test data will be posted in separate threads at a later time.

Overall, a decent turnout for a first run. But I'm hoping that more will participate in the June challenge.

As it turned out, Senior and Advanced were very difficult. No one scored above 50/100 on either level. People generally did much better in Beginner and Junior with 2 perfects in Beginner and 1 perfect in Junior.

Winners:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Beginner Level   Ooble and Jessehk
Junior   Level   Ooble
Senior   Level   mbd
Advanced Level   anrchydrgn

Damn.

Now I just want to know why I got the first one wrong for the junior level problem. I'm still happy with 100/100 and 90/100.

I'm assuming you wrote a program to do all the evaluations/keep track of who will be evaluated for each level, etc. Mind sharing?

Sane · Jun 1st, 2008, 4:02 PM

I was rushed for time so I had to do this all by hand.

I'll probably write something later, but it's tough with the vast differences in submissions I get. I think you were one of the only ones who followed the format perfectly.

I think your solution failed because it didn't properly handle k=1, and it ended up outputting 11 instead of 10 for n=5. You'll see the test data tonight or tomorrow when I finish all of the threads.

Freaky Chris · Jun 1st, 2008, 5:12 PM

run-time error o dear lol i should go back to school, or at least start a course that would be a good idea. Welldone though guys

Sane · Jun 1st, 2008, 5:56 PM

I think it had to do with either too big of numbers in your range() or a negative range.

Freaky Chris · Jun 1st, 2008, 6:32 PM

hmm yes i guess too larger number could indeed cause that to happen. It appears to be fine for negative. Thanks for the feedback anyway

The test data and solutions for all problems are now up. Please ask if you have any questions, or if it looks like I messed up somewhere.
