The ACM ICPC 2006 Regional Contest<\/a> was held on December 16th & 17th , 2006 at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, coimbatore, and our team ( me , evo and vasu ) was one of the top 50 teams selected for the onsite contest .<\/div>\n
The travel to coimbatore was really weird this time. This is the second time i am going to coimbatore (last time with Manas ) and never knew where amrita is \ud83d\ude41 . To make things worse , the train stopped at thirupur coz of some technical fault . Had to travel from thirupur to coimbatore by bus and then from there to amrita . As usual was late by a few hours and missed the tour of the contest \ud83d\ude41 ( actually it does not matter since it was Day1 ).<\/div>\n

Then after meeting evo and vasu there ( OMG , they were discussing some problem already ) , we went for the “grand” campus tour . The cook book said “Campus Tour – Teams and coaches tour the plush greenery Amrita University Campus, campus facilities” . But it turned out to be one of the worst tour . The guys who came with us for the tour were so “dumb”. They used to show us a basketball court and say “This is our basketball court ” . As if we all thought it is a football court. Anyway another sad part is that the “greenery” we expected in amrita is nowhere to be found . Bad that this time the contest is during hols \ud83d\ude41 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

After lunch had the first practice session . We were able to solve all three ( though presentation error rapped us and the guy who seems to answer our doubts is one of the dumbest i can ever find. We used to ask him , what is the presentation error . Our output seems to be fine and he used to reply “Yes, there is a presentation error.” ) . And anytime our Codelabs is far better than mooshak. Our Codelabs has a better interface than the mooshak , since codelabs is not a single web page and hence one can predict what will happen if the page is refreshed ( unlike in mooshak you have to remeber your last action )<\/p>\n

After dinner , had the second practice session and this time we did not get one question \ud83d\ude41 . Anyway it was total fun being with vasu and evo around . Especailly vasu always had some funny stuff to tell us.<\/p>\n

Day II
\nBreak fast at 6.30 \ud83d\ude41 and i got up at 6.40 ( One of the difficult thing for me to do \ud83d\ude41 ) . Contest started at around 8.00 PM and ended at 1.00 PM. We were able to solve three problems and ended up 23 rd . The final standings can be viewed here<\/a> . Planned to start early but had to wait for the certificates .<\/p>\n

The problem set can be found here<\/a><\/p>\n

Came back to chennai the next day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
