And at the risk of giving up on giving up on that idea, I guess I'll keep trying. :? :roll: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 10, 2004 7:53 pm ----------------------------------- just run the sever on monday morning at home and go to school to check, put a txt in the same folder ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sun Jan 11, 2004 1:31 am ----------------------------------- server ... what is this ingenious server? :?: ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jan 11, 2004 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- Way to go dodge, just tell everyone our -- wait a minute -- MY plan in a public forum. Anyways, I tried that last contest and I couldn't connect, that's why I gave up. ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jan 11, 2004 7:05 pm ----------------------------------- just try the frigging thing again ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jan 11, 2004 7:10 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jan 11, 2004 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- LOL, but i'm the spam mod... ur just pissed cuz ur no longer a spam god jkjk ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Jan 16, 2004 9:31 am Re: Dwite january 16th This Friday ----------------------------------- if you are entering , leave a msg with your school name and the guys on your team Hon Vincent Massey SS just me. team name is same as my handle ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Jan 16, 2004 9:39 am ----------------------------------- i will award anybody who has a score higher than me by bits equal to the difference between the scores. ----------------------------------- shorthair Fri Jan 16, 2004 9:56 am ----------------------------------- Sounds good im up for that ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Fri Jan 16, 2004 5:34 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jan 16, 2004 5:57 pm ----------------------------------- LOL. AsianSensation, you probably can't see this, but I'm holding up my finger and thumb in the shape of an L. :D Oh well, the moral isn't actually about registering early, it's about the fact that you missed class! ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 12:38 pm ----------------------------------- we came 7th ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 17, 2004 1:01 pm ----------------------------------- We got every qustion and all teh trest data , but recieved 0 on all of the programs, were not sure what happened , our teacher gave us different test data and that all worked aswell ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 17, 2004 1:02 pm ----------------------------------- ohh hi owe bugz 15 bits aswell :snipe: hehehe not anymore ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 1:08 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:22 pm ----------------------------------- there is long long? woa... how many digits is that 2^64? ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:31 pm ----------------------------------- that's one way of doing that question, but I suggested a better way, too bad Mr. Mckenzie discouraged me from using it... :cry: 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. :lol: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- azn that will still crash! turing cant handle that big of a number... ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- oh well, but it was a truely innovative way of solving a question. :lol: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- and get urself banned forever ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:39 pm ----------------------------------- but I would go down in history as the person that solved their problem by hacking their own system. I would be famous! Next thing you know, modelling agencies would come after me and ask me to model for their new computer desk......... ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jan 17, 2004 7:40 pm ----------------------------------- LOL u wish chung ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jan 17, 2004 8:31 pm ----------------------------------- but I would go down in history as the person that solved their problem by hacking their own system. I would be famous! Next thing you know, modelling agencies would come after me and ask me to model for their new computer desk......... 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? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Jan 17, 2004 11:24 pm ----------------------------------- there is long long? woa... how many digits is that 2^64? good. that many sig digs. some of these bits may be used to store the exponent in the scientific notation i think. ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jan 18, 2004 6:07 pm ----------------------------------- lol... man... if only i knew that ----------------------------------- whatdotcolour_womanizer Fri Jan 30, 2004 8:16 am ----------------------------------- Hi , I'm new, but I like whatdotcolour.... but I don't know how to use it.. but I think it's great.. can somebody show me how please? ... ... :oops: DodgeTomahawk.. you llook like a guy that likes whatdotcolour... can you help me out??
