We're excited to invite you to Another Contest 2, the second contest in the Another Contest series!

After seeing the first contest be run, we're changing up the format a little bit to make the contest experience more pure. Firstly, we're making the contest rated for everyone who opens the contest.

Good luck to all participants!

IOI18F Meetings Post 1

xiaowuc1, rpeng, npinsker posted on Oct. 27, 2018, 2:00 a.m. 0

This is the first of a series of blog posts about the task `meetings' from IOI18. It is also available in a contest that will take place in conjunction with these posts.

We chose this problem as an experiment to see whether we can present a single problem in a way that it covers a lot of useful knowledge for a contest related topic. In this aspect, meetings is a great task in that it starts with dynamic programming, then moves into range queries and tree constructions, and finally, finishes it off with geometric data structures.

Furthermore, the setting of meetings is as classical as a data structure problem can get: you get a static array, and you query about some statistic on its subintervals. This is a setting that has been viewed as "completely understood" by most competitors who aim for top 40 or higher at the IOI since around 2005. However, this problem was given, and had 0 solvers. I've also heard several past contestants who placed in the Top-3 at IOIs refer to this problem as "Godly", so that's another reason to discuss it in more details.

In short, the ideas underlying meetings are extremely novel, especially given how well understood the topic is. Also, if mechanically you can solve meetings in 2 hours reliably, you shouldn't have trouble with most data structural topics.

Two Factor Authentication

quantum, Xyene, Kirito, Rimuru posted on Oct. 24, 2018, 10:35 a.m. 0

Recently, we have rolled out Two Factor Authentication! You can enable it on your edit profile page in order to make your account more secure.

For those that do not know how, the following are the steps that you can take:

  1. Install Google Authenticator, Authy, or any other similar apps that provide the functionality.
  2. Scan the QR Code with your device, or enter the code provided manually.
  3. Enter the code shown by your device to sanity check and complete the enabling process.
  4. Henceforth, your device should provide the 6-digit code that will be used for Two Factor Authentication.

Please note that the time on your device is required to be correct as the codes provided are time-based.

About Multi-Accounts

ksun48, xiaowuc1, ecnerwal, rpeng, xyz111 posted on Oct. 18, 2018, 10:00 p.m. 1

Recently, on the ACC1 (Another Contest), there was a fairly high profile attempt of utilizing fake accounts.

While such attempts may be done partly for humor, the nature of the DMOJ contests (with their long open durations) means such behavior could completely destroy the usefulness of the ranking system. We reached out to the likely users (according to xiaowuc1 it was not too hard to identify who they were by reading their code), and they agree with us about the seriousness of their actions. Please see below for their message.

In fact, we would like to use this opportunity to encourage users who would like to compete at national levels (or higher) to add their real-world information onto the about pages of their profiles. Yes, this adds additional stress for doing the contest (due to feeling like being watched), but it's also an essential part of the contest process.


Hello DMOJ,

We wanted to apologize for cheating on Another Contest 1 (10/12/2018). We took the contest as a team of 3 people with 3 computers on a fake account (y0105vv49). We understand that this is very unsportsmanlike, as it directly affects the rankings of real contestants taking the contest legitimately and sets a bad example for other users. Some of us have previously been reprimanded for this issue before, but we evidently failed to learn our lesson. We won't do this again. If there's any contributions to the DMOJ community we can make to make up for this, such as setting a contest, we'd be eager to volunteer our time.
