Hi, You have a window of 27 hours, in which you have to start, as well as finish all the problems of the qualification round.
The site says that the problems should take about 2 - 2.5 hours to complete. So that means that you should start working on the problems no later than 24 hours after the round starts (if you start after 24 hours, and you can complete it in 3 hours, you are golden!). But obviously, it all depends on how soon you can finish the problems. Maybe you can finish it in 1 hour, maybe you need 10. I'd suggest starting as soon as you can once the round starts. This is my first time as well, and that's what I'll be doing. Start early, finish early is better than start late, and run the risk of not having enough time. Safety first always! Good luck! :) On Sunday, April 6, 2014 11:24:58 PM UTC+5:30, Krishnan wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I am new to Google code jam and am trying out my skills this weekend in > qualification round.
