Ok, I knew already that GCJ rules :-) But today I got a mail "A note about the rules - Google Code Jam 2014"...
Basically my code for Minesweeper looks very similar to the one of another guy. Why not. That's actually possible, and I wonder why it doesn't happen more often! Depending on the problem there are not so many ways to build an algorithm. Besides the fact I'm not that desperate to copy someone's code to advance one round: my own code is written locally the hard disk, not shared at all, edited on a local editor, on a patched Linux Heartbleed free, and Google has been Heartbleed fixed for the contest, GCJ is submitted via https... and the guy is from a country far away. So, I thought, let see how similar are our codes... and this is the funny thing about that story: The other guy did not submit any code for Minesweeper :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
