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 Razz

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.. Smile

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 Sad

I think I did well on every question *besides* that one though, so it's still OK... but I am still curious about #3.
