Just wrote the Junor one today... saddly, I didn't do anywhere as well as I should have, or thought I would have.
Of the 5 questions, I only got the first three... However, I did them about 15 minutes each, and got them all. So there I was, opend to number four... and spent about 2 hours on the thing. I have no idea why it took so long... well, yes I do. I coded it poorly, made two checking systems at once without knowing it, and couldn't seperate them easily without more errors cropping up.
Oh well. |

Just wrote the senior one. Is it just me, or is it insanely easy this year? Question 1 was simple if statements and string manipulation, 2 was simple if statements (I made a simple game using the same concepts), question 3 was the only one I couldn't do. Not too sure if my method for question 4 is correct, but it worked for a few test cases I made up, and question 5 was pretty easy as well. Hope I do well, but can't get my hopes too high |

I wrote senoir 2day as well. I got all 5 questions for the test cases they showed so who knows how well i did. But i agree the questions were easy the top 20 people will probably all have 75 points. |

May we start posting solutions? Or is there a minimum waiting time before we can start discussing the contest in detail, like there is for a lot of math contests?
I'm interested in seeing a lot of the solutions for some of these.. |

Please wait until the end of the week. Some schools have not yet written the contest due to snow conditions. |

trust me, question 5 is not as easy as you think.
I helped marked the whole contest afterward with Mr.Mckenzie, and trust me. Question 5 is probably the hardest question on that contest to get full marks on.
4 was pretty hard, but if you know the algorithm, you are all set.
3 was actually pretty easy if you didn't get jumbled up.
2 was easy.
1 was easy. |

When Friday rolls along, I really wanna see question 3... I didn't even understand what it was asking. ******** were an entirely new concept to me, and trying to learn it from scratch from their vague instructions was too much for me
I think I did well on every question *besides* that one though, so it's still OK... but I am still curious about #3. |
