Scoring

  • The single challenge in the contest consists of 20 test cases and the final score is a sum of scores across all tests
  • For each test case participant can get a score calculated as (n - k)+1 where n is the number of points in the case and k is the number of triangles in the solution. Thus the maxumum score is equal to the number of points in the case and can be achieved only by solutions with a single triangle which is rarely possible. It means that the maximum score (400 points) for the whole contest cannot be achieved but there is always a chance that a new improvement for the algorithm can be applied.
  • If a participant submits more than one solution per challenge, then the participant’s score will reflect the highest score achieved.
  • Participants are ranked by score. If two or more participants achieve the same score, then the tie is broken by the total time taken to submit the last solution resulting in a higher score
