MINET Results

I'm feeling pretty unhappy.. yet I have to post, so here it is:

Senior Quiz (WINNER)

• Roshan Shariff


• Shashank Shekhar


• M. Harsha

Crossword (2nd Position)

• Roshan Shariff


• Shashank Shekhar

The quiz was very very close. There was a three-way tie-breaker between us, APJ SS, & DPS VK. Then we & DPS VK tied, and we won that..

We thought that it couldn't get closer than that. We were quite incorrect. The crossword was... damn! It was a tie between us & DPS VK again, but this time for 2nd place. APJ Noida won the crossword. So we and DPS VK had a tie-breaker.. actually 6 tie-breakers or so.. and each time it was another tie. The audience was laughing.. and ultimately they ran out of questions and clues, and wearily shared the second position between us and DPS VK.

The rest of the events were surprisingly very bad for us. I dunno what happened to us, we went down in programming! Its like the logic clicks, and you're in. We attempted two, got the logic very very fast, wrote the program, it worked for the sample inputs given in the paper, and they had this funny thing that they made a Gigantic, unmanageable integer array (121 x 121) in a DAT file, and for some reason, it failed to work for that. It wasn't efficiency problem, it wasn't any data limitation problem.. yet to figure out. We'll be putting up the questions soon.. Harsha has them. The other events to we crashed out from. Very bad day. I think we just managed 90 points as a team.. guess that DPS VK won the overall event. They've displaced us this time. Damn! This was me & my batch's last MINET. :-/
