Ok captain-attitude, I will. PS: stop spamming every thread to death with useless messages just to get your post count higher. I'm the new Undercover Anti-Spam moderator (PPS: we'll talk later, Tony) and I can ban your ass if you keep this behaviour up. |

um........bugz there got himself third place, in a team all by himself, so unless you are that Vasilli guy, then I don't think you stand a chance of beating bugz. oh, another funny thing happened to me, we were suppose to register for this contest, but since there was that starcraft tournament thing (in which I went 3-2, and dodge went 0-4) I completely forgot to register. So I went and registered twenty minutes before the contest. And when I actually did the questions, send them in, they send an email back to me saying that I wasn't registered, but I have all the registering info in my hand, so I was like, what the hell? Then I look again, and it says that I registered for the next month's DWITE contest, lol. Moral of the story, never wait twenty minutes before a contest to register. |

LOL. AsianSensation, you probably can't see this, but I'm holding up my finger and thumb in the shape of an L. 
Oh well, the moral isn't actually about registering early, it's about the fact that you missed class! |

well see this time the dwite was pretty hard... for example that question where u had to calculate the how many seconds there are, if the input data was 2999 12/12 23:59, the number of seconds there are would exceed the largest integer turing could handle which is 2^32, what you have to do is use a string to store the data or be smart and say if the date is beyond how which year, simply give them a wrong answer so your program wont crash and the other inputs will be marked |

I didnt realize that. in C++ a long long would do the trick |

there is long long? woa... how many digits is that 2^64? |

that's one way of doing that question, but I suggested a better way, too bad Mr. Mckenzie discouraged me from using it... 
you know how the turing wallclock function display the how many seconds it is since Jan 1, 1970. I suggested changing the seed for wallclock, into whatever they wanted (I think it was Jan 1, 2004), and then write a program to change the system clock into whatever the test data was, and voila! wallclock that, and you got the answer.  |

azn that will still crash! turing cant handle that big of a number... |

What the heck are you talking about? How do you plan on writing a program (in Turing) to change their computer's clock?
And why (assuming it worked) would that inspire modelling agencies to model for their... why are you imagining being a model? |
