... I just beat the qualifier round, looks like Kirby did too. Anyone else trying?

I ... did it!!

It only took about four hours, but I did it! :D

Well, to be precise, I solved one of the sets. And now I see that I need five more points to advance to round 1. :(

Still, I think this isn't too bad, for only having started (Java) programming four months ago. (I hope it isn't too bad.)

Edit:

After reviewing the remaining sets, I think I'll stop here. It's been a good first run, but I still have other work that needs doing and games that need played. :)

I was planning on it, but I decided I couldn't make time. I'm currently doing one of the courses from coursera.org which I'm still drastically behind on.

Thanks for the reminder daniel, would have missed it without this thread. I'm a bit tired atm, so I only solved 2 sets (A, C) which puts me above the required 20 points, even if my big set for C happens to be wrong.

That's exactly what I did! The next round probably will require more effort, though...

I'll be in round 1 too :) See y'all there!

I'll be AdrianP if you want to track me on your friends scoreboard.

Whoops, I forgot all about it. I guess I'll have to try one of the other times. :(

I don't think I can beat it in less than half the time...

What do you mean? Round 1A starts in 6 days, and you beat the qualification

Li Kao, you are right, I was very confused about the schedule when I wrote that.

I still am... I think I just missed 1A for real...

Half an hour to go. Who will take part?

I tried 1B and ran out of time before getting the bugs out of the second problem. :(

Post subject:  Re: Google Code Jam 2012

Pretty much the same for me, in 1C. Solved it in about 50mins, but then spent 1.5h finding a stupid bug(didn't reset some variable between subcases). So I ended up with only problem 2 solved, which didn't give enough points.

Instead of making a new thread, I'll just resurrect this 5-year-old thread to let people know that sign-ups for Google Code Jam 2017 are open. I'll be giving it a shot this year to see how well I do (signed up as 'tesuji').

I'm participating this year as well :) My ID is SuperRabbit

I'll be in the fray too :) Might try the "Distributed" version this year, though.

Post subject:  Re: Google Code Jam 2012

I'll give it a shot, again, this year.

I'm pretty rusty, but I guess that's more reason to give it a shot. :study:

I'll give it a shot, if I remember it's happening...

Removed 2012 from the title, since it looks like the discussion has changed to 2017 (sorry). Also, I was looking through some of the past contests out of curiosity, and found this interesting problem from 2014 Round 1C :D.

Just a friendly reminder that the qualifiers start tomorrow at 23:00 UTC (4pm PST) :). Good luck!

Post subject:  Re: Google Code Jam

I'm glad you posted that, because I've been mulling over participating and had not realized it started tomorrow afternoon.

How long did the qualifying round take you in previous years?
