i did the ECOO or ECCO or watever it is. my scool came in 6th. the only reason we didn't do better was because our school uses terrible dells and it took them forever to make the executabe from Turing. anyway i will be going back next year.

lol..our school won ECOO with the Turing/Dell combo last year.....

ya we used dells this year, they suked and a few computers didnt even work but we still managed. and im not going to provincials... yet board is first which we passed and then comes regionals b4 provincials

lordofall: i think theres an error with ur code
"Array subscription out of range."

which program is it? none of them are bob proof, for the cross that probably means that the data you entered was a bit to large(for example the blocks to take out of the cross were bigger then the cross) either that or i made a mistake when the top row was filled (suppose to start on the second row but i never checked for that

hmm ya dats prolly cross, as the other one is suppose to be all letters, and prolly for the reasons i told u they prolly said dat it wouldn't take too many rows cause i never got caught =^D.

Here's a solution to S5. Well, not quite S5. It prints all the ranks and doesn't print the summary information that the question asks for.
It uses a trie, which takes advantage of the fact that the numbers all fit in 32 bits. So it is actually O(n) time; more precisely O(n log m) where n is the number of scores and m is the magnitude of the maximum possible score.
There are a number of O(n log n) algorithms that don't explicitly depend on m. But if you want to be really precise, most of them will be O(n log n log m) .
If you used binary tree insertion, you'd get the random cases and probably one of the ordered cases, but you wouldn't get them all because binary tree insertion will probably create a reasonably balanced tree, but in worst case will not. So you need to use some kind of self-balancing tree to get the worst-case behaviour right.
Aidin's solution, if I understand it right, basically halves the problem size. This can be very useful especially for problems for which a polynomial-time solution is not known. That is, you can do 2^30 operations while you wait, but 2^60 will take your lifetime and more.
As for the time limit, I'm not exactly sure how it was implemented at particular schools but it was my understanding that a calibration program was made available in some of the advance materials. It is really hard for us to guarantee even treatment across all schools, but it is safe to assume that you were not intended to be able to execute of the order of 5 billion comparisons in the time available. The solution below uses about 3 million.
I will very soon be assuming my role as ISC member for the IOI, so I won't be directly involved in the second stage. And I have no information beyond what I've seen here as to the mark cutoff. Good luck to the qualifiers.
code: | struct ss {
struct ss *left, *right;
int leftcnt;
} avails[3200000];
int i,j,k,n,s,t,cnt,c,toleft;
struct ss *avail = avails, *head, **p;
main(){
scanf("%d",&t);
for (cnt=0;cnt<t;cnt++) {
scanf("%d",&s);
p = &head;
c = cnt;
toleft = 0;
for (i=0;i<32;i++) {
if (!*p) *p = avail++;
if (s & (1<<(31-i))) { // left
c = (*p)->leftcnt;
(*p)->leftcnt++;
p = &(*p)->left;
} else {
c -= (*p)->leftcnt;
toleft += (*p)->leftcnt;
p = &(*p)->right;
}
}
printf("%d of %d\n",toleft+1,cnt+1);
}
}

Depends on whether you consider addition/substraction/comparison to be logm time
I think Simon did the halving the size thing, I heard he did the same things for the Waterloo ACM contest (the ultra-quicksort question). What Aidin did (at least what I think he did) was basically a segment array with O(n) implementation but a smaller constant, my code was a logn implementation of the segment array (more like a segment heap).
Since the data size was 100,000, what I heard that some schools did was they just ran the program on the server. In one case, the teacher even ran the program (which was the N^2 code) on a 5GHZ comp and it ran in 50 seconds.
http://access.mmhs.ca/ccc/2005/CCC2005s5PinballRanking.txt has some more info about the time limit vs. machine.
