More information

You can keep reference books with yourself during the competition. For example, you can refer to the book for the syntax of filing. Algorithm books will not be allowed.

The only requirement to get a problem right is that you solve the problem correctly. Code clarity, neatness, variable naming have no points at all!

The clock won't stop ticking! You'll get a penalty for every minute that passes, the idea is to get as less penalty as possible; which is, of course, just a fancy way of saying that you need to work out the problems as quickly as possible!

The team that solves the most questions will be the winner, penalty does not count if the number of questions solved is higher

You do not need to remember algorithms for the competition, the only thing you need to practice is your skills on the keyboard, I guess :)

Come with a fresh brain on May 9th. A fresh and rested brain makes all the difference!

We recommend that you study ArrayList in C# and if you're doing it in C++, make sure you have command over vector<> container to build up dynamic arrays.

If the problem involves dynamic arrays, you're adviced to use a standard library instead of making elementary linked lists yourself

It won't be tough as it sounds!

Best of luck!
