ICPC Kanpur
One of the worse days of my life was the 4th October, 2009. ICPC Kanpur regionals left me dismayed because our team didnt perform well. Even when we were 11th at the 1st submission, we failed to solve any further problems.. some of us were too attached to our personal codes on the more difficult problem that left us with lesser time to attempt more easier problems that were accepted even on O(n!) ! Personally i feel that we freaked out just because the team combination wasnt good But as they say.. "every dark cloud has a silver lining". Even though i feel that this is a really dark cloud, the silver lining might be that such a contest has made me realize the does and donts of a programming contest. Hope we perform better at Amritapuri site..!

Benjamin Franklin once said- "I didn't fail the test, i just got 100 ways to do it wrong"
ReplyDeleteJust wanna quote amazing lines of Kipling-
If you can make a heap of all your winnings,
And risk it at one turn of pitch-and-toss;
And loose and start again at your beginnings,
And never breath a word about your loss.
Yours is the earth and everything thats in it,
And whatelse-you'll be a man-My Son!
@arpita .. really encouraging words.. thanks a lot :)
