They obviously try to write the questions with size limits so with the right algorithm it is easy to meet the constraints, and with the wrong it is impossible and usually this is the case. However sometimes this is not the case, sometimes a single problem requires figuring out 2 or more "tricks" and It has happened that efficient parallel code could just barely meet the time constraints without figuring out all the tricks for the "correct" algorithm. however this is the exception not the rule. I routinely try to write efficient code, but never write something that will slow down my coding to speed up the runtime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
