When the balloons for questions k and m, and the ac balloon arrived belatedly and rushed into the sky, Su Xiaomu moved his chair.
"I misunderstood question K at the beginning and was given a 60-minute penalty. I should have printed the code and had a look. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
After looking at the time, Su Xiaomu said again.
"There are exactly four hours left, so it's not a big problem."
Chen Jiming couldn't stand Su Xiaomu's self-blame, and said quickly, "It doesn't matter, the total penalty time is only 100 minutes, we can afford it."
Although neither he nor Shang Siyu looked at question k, no team answered question k correctly for an hour, which clearly shows the difficulty of the question.
The rules of the International College Student Programming Competition have never required participating teams to answer questions in order. The style of all teams is to answer which question they find the idea for.
There were also balloons for some topics that were snatched away by other strong teams.
Currently, the Saoke team has a total of 5 balloons and 7 AC balloons.
It's quite swaying.
"Come here, I'll take a rest and take my time. There's enough time. Don't be in a hurry."
Su Xiaomu made a gesture and hid aside to give up his position.
…………
…………
The clicking of keyboards, the hustle and bustle of volunteers urging volunteers to send printed codes, the small beeps of salted fishes, the sound of footsteps walking back and forth...
All of this seemed like the mute button was suddenly pressed, and an atmosphere called absurdity spread.
Even the referees are thinking about the three major philosophical questions of life:
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Yes, even all the immediate return results are given by them watching in the background.
But this does not mean that they can suddenly understand that this feeling is absurd and excellent.
I completed 7 International College Programming Contest regional competition questions in 1 hour. I didn’t pay attention to whether this achievement has been unlocked by other teams.
However, the referee's level and authority are sufficient to know the distinction between competition questions.
Even if they paddle all the way later, their referees will try hard to award the Sauke team a gold medal. Of course, they can't yet judge whether there are other teams that can answer the three questions: b, c, and k correctly.
At least not yet.
In the Qingdao competition that has ended, there are three questions about gold and three questions about blacksmithing, which can well illustrate the problem of differentiation of test questions.
The three members of the Peking University Beta Cats team, currently ranked second, stopped what they were doing and silently gave Su Xiaomu a visual thumbs up.
Competing with such a strong team on the same field is very uncomfortable on the one hand, and I always feel the imminent pressure.
On the other hand, it is very beneficial. If you are under pressure, you will be motivated to continue your liver. If your thoughts are not good, there will be a small universe explosion.
Almost all the players of more than 200 teams at the scene were thinking about the same question as the referees.
Where am I, who am I, what am I doing?
The most uncomfortable thing was the Northeast Normal University's "You can join" team, which was next to the Sao Ke team.
It was a bit uncomfortable to be seated next to the handsome and handsome team leader who attracted the most attention. There were eyes everywhere, but they were not looking at them.
I beeped quietly in my heart, it’s all Yangou!
Originally, question A was so exciting that it almost passed in seconds. Look, we have balloons. You, hehehe, are only handsome, and there is no hope of making iron.
I spent the whole hour doubting my life.
mmp, do you want to be so strong?
I won’t talk about question b. Is question c something that people can worry about? Can people also worry about questions like question k?
Originally this was a 'you can, you can join' team that focused on participation, and the two team members except the lead player were silently beeping in their hearts.
In the end, I no longer even had any doubts about life. I confirmed in my eyes that they are not on the same level.
A strong team on the other side, Funan Technology’s ‘pulse’ is different.
They have more ideas, and they find that the Sao Ke team can overcome this and that, and they confidently tell themselves that we can too.
So there were a total of 13 questions from a to m, and they picked them all.
There were a bunch of ‘attempted problem’ questions, but fortunately I didn’t submit them and didn’t answer them correctly. Otherwise, the time would be wasted.
"Oh, mmp."
In the end, these were the only words left in my heart.
…………
After Su Xiaomu gave up his position, Shang Siyu went up first and picked question F, which was considered a moderately difficult question.
After an hour of thinking, Shang Siyu had already perfected his ideas, and it took him 10 minutes to go up.
Comparatively speaking, it was an average-to-upper level overall performance, and the fault was mainly due to the keyboard, which didn't listen to her at all.
Annoying!
When Su Xiaomu was resting aside, he didn't forget to cheer Shang Siyu up.
"Not bad, good, come on!"
Shang Siyu was not so sure about the next question and gave up his position to Chen Jiming who was eager to try.
I passed question i carefully in 1y in 50 minutes. The difficulty was medium to high, and there was no wa. I was relieved.
Just over 2 hours have passed since the competition, and more than half of the teams are still in the 3 and 4 question area.
The Saoke team ranked first with 9 correct answers and a total time of 220 minutes including penalty time.
It is true as Su Xiaomu said, there is no one who can fight!
Strong teams such as Peking University's Beta Cats team, which was inspired by the Saoke team, and Northwestern Polytechnical University's 'npu_Hawaiian Guitar' worked hard to improve. One passed 7 questions, and the other passed 6 questions.
It's not that ugly.
Of course, the total time with penalty time is a little uglier.
One took more than 400 minutes, and the other took more than 450 minutes.
Chen Jiming was nibbling the remaining j and l, while Shang Siyu went up to answer question e.
The two of them cooperated according to their respective division of labor and fully felt the tension, stimulation, excitement, excitement, joy, etc. of the regional competition.
While Shang Siyu was working on the e-question, Su Xiaomu went to pick up lunch and fully took care of the logistics.
I heard that the entire cafeteria of Western University was filled with the smell of snail noodles, but the burgers provided gave the teams who came to the "Antarctic" competition a little bit of warmth like a noodle.
"Classmate Shang, Classmate Chen, the burgers at Western University are pretty good, give it a try."
Su Xiaomu opened a burger for Shang Siyu, who was having a crackling liver question, and a burger for Chen Jiming, who was pulling his hair.
Shang Siyu took the burger, put her hands together and ate it in small bites, with stars in her eyes. This was the first time that she felt that Su Xiaomu had the most boyfriend power in her body, but it was a pity that it wasn't me!
Chen Jiming is self-sufficient and has no complaints.
…………
Su Xiaomu, who was paddling in the water, discovered something interesting.
A certain team from a certain university of science and technology has always had 0 questions. This fact makes the new student Su curious.
Later, it was not until after the competition that Su Xiaomu got back his stored mobile phone that he found relevant answers on a certain site.
An anonymous member of a team from a certain University of Science and Technology asked a question about how to evaluate the ICPC Nanning live competition.
"Let me give a different answer. Let's put it this way. This year there are two teams that got A and zero questions, and one of them is my team..."
“I woke up at noon today, and after debating on which hotel room to book, I saw a bunch of people in the group discussing the competition. As a melon-eater, I was also shocked.
When the final list came out in the afternoon, I noticed that the name of the last team seemed familiar.
Then I confirmed that it was indeed our team..."
Broken bowls and broken basins.
ps: I can't describe the tense atmosphere. I'm too excited. I'm sorry.
