Hi everyone,

Welcome to Techsoc Online programming contest. The contest will be held on March 14th, 2014 from 8:00 PM to 11:59 PM IST. It will be held on hacker rank, which is an online platform. The URL to the contest is http://www.hackerrank.com/techsoc-opc. For people who are not familiar with an online judge please refer to the following wiki article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_judge . You can also try sample programs on hacker rank to familiarize yourself with the environment.

For this contest, standard ACM-ICPC rules will apply. These rules are as follows:

1) Every submission of a code to a question is called a "run". The online judge will run your code against several hidden cases as input.

2) After running the code against those hidden cases, it will return one of the following verdicts:

• Accepted - This implies your code ran successfully and the outputs returned matched with the expected output on all inputs.
  
• Wrong Answer - Your code ran successfully, but returned output which didn't match the expected output on some inputs.
  
• Compilation Error - Your code did not compile successfully.
  
• Run Time Error - Your code compiled successfully, but gave an error during run time. Examples could be index out of bound errors, divide by zero errors or memory limit exceeded.
  
• Time Limit Exceeded - Your code compiled successfully, but did not finish executing within the stipulated time limit.

3) Only those questions for which an accepted solution was submitted will be counted for scoring.

4) Your score to a question is the time taken to get a first accepted solution for that question, plus a 20 minute penalty on every submission to that question which had a verdict other than accepted.

5) Finally, teams will be ranked based on their score. Obviously, lesser the overall time penalty, higher is their rank.

Teams of atmost 3 people are allowed for this contest. All participants are additionally required to fill the following form - http://goo.gl/2zWPxM . This is to keep track of hostels so that the techsoc points can be appropriately awarded. Teams which do not fill this form will be removed from the final rank list and hence will not be given any points.

Keeping in mind the fact that many of you may not have participated in such a contest before, the questions have been appropriately set. 

We can assure you that high school mathematics and CS1100 level algorithmic knowledge can help you solve atleast 60% of the problems. As a general rule of thumb, more participants from a hostel, more the chances of getting some techsoc points.

Finally, for further queries, please contact:
