[gcj] Re: query on qualification round
as the rules state:If you successfully solve one small and one large input from any of the three problems, you will advance to Online Round 1. what i get from this line is that the small and large input should be of the same problem. but if somebody from GCJ organizing team can confirm, it'll be nice.

atleast 1 small and 1 large input Cheers!

[gcj] Re: query on qualification round
You need at least 1 small and 1 large, but if can solve more try to do it, you won't know if the large is correct until qualification ends, so it's a gamble to solve only 1 and not try the others.

Just notice that after you submit a large output, the site will not tell you whether it is right or not. The official result about the correctness of your large output won't be available until the qualification round ends. So, it is probably a good idea to try to solve the 3 questions just in case.

[gcj] Re: query on qualification round
Well, I think it's assumed that if you're able to solve a large input from one of the questions, then you can solve the small one as well with exactly the same code. (Vice versa is rather less likely to be correct...) If you take a look at a round or two from last year, the concept should be clear. In this case, I think the point is that it's not enough to rack up easy points by writing naive solutions to all of the small inputs - you've got to complete at least one of the big ones. Good luck! :) On Sep 2, 8:27 pm, Anurag Dongre anurag.dongr...@gmail.com wrote: ok what exactly does 1 LARGE and 1 SMALL mean? does it mean 1 large and 1 small for the same question or it means 1 large from any of the three and 1 small from any of the three.?

[gcj] Re: query on qualification round
Well, if it works on the large data set it should probably work on the small. I don't see why anyone wouldn't test on the small as if it doesn't work there it sure as heck won't work on the large.

Yes and not. It can happen that a program runs ok with the small input file, but the same program fails with the large.
