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

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. Carlos Guía On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:55 AM, Himanshu Sachdeva sachdev...@gmail.comwrote: atleast

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

YES my dear friends...i will definitely solve all three of them. Definitely. But if i know that i did right in small input for Q1 and m sure all of the other two questions are wrong for small input, and if im sure that i did right in large input for Q3 theni can be relaxed. Basically just wanna

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

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. Grant Kot On Sep 2, 2009, at 2:13 PM, Anurag Dongre anurag.dongr...@gmail.com wrote: YEAH i

Yes and not. It can happen that a program runs ok with the small input file, but the same program fails with the large. It could had problems like an out of memory or needs a lot of time to execute... 2009/9/2 Anurag Dongre anurag.dongr...@gmail.com YEAH i understand its a gamble but is it that
