Hi CodeCheffers,
The December 2010 Challenge is now over. The contest started with a bang and it seemed very easy with participants solving 4 out of the 6 problems on the first day itself. But things didn’t look quite easy as they seemed on day 1, the other 2 problems took almost 6 days to solve.
Lets look at some Stats and then move on to see the final winners list.

🙁 Clashes with topcoder srm 491
I know! I am going to go for TopCoder!
We too regret the clash. 🙁
In future , it would be great if you could give at least one of the bigger and complex test cases in your sample inputs .
We will take that as a feedback, but ideally revealing complex test cases reduces the fun of solving the problem.
no t-shirt for 20?
Considering the number of people tied on the 20th place and also the score, we kept the list to only 19. We also want people to solve at least more than 1 problem. 🙂
So does it mean the people till19 are getting some goodies?
Yes, winners will be contacted soon
Please avoid clashes with topcoder contests. Many participants don’t want to miss out on either of these.
We agree and we regret the clash. We shall certainly take care of this in future.
Is there any rating for Dec cookoff ..as it was in Oct cookoff bt not for that in Nov .
nice posting
Hey Guys the December Cook-off has been re-scheduled to Sunday 19th December at 21:30 IST.
