Best problems are the ones where you can't directly attribute it to one method - when it is a mix of several methods or some funny way of reapproaching known problem from unusual angle.
This is because plain vanilla problems are already very boring to people who do competitive programming for long time. GCJ team usually very good coming up with unusual problems - often even knowledge of hardcore data structures or algorithms is not needed, just thinking hard and putting your brain at work. воскресенье, 12 апреля 2015 г., 11:08:06 UTC-5 пользователь vivek pandya написал: > Hello , > > I have first time participated in gcj and I was just able to solve first > problem. > > I am very new to competitive programing.
