Contest ratings similar to TopCoder's rating system have recently been implemented on the DMOJ. Rating is a direct indicator of how likely you are to beat someone else in any given contest. The higher your rating is compared to another person, the more likely you'll place better! There are currently six ranks, based on the numerical value of the rating.

The default rating for users is 1200.

Rating is calculated using your rank on all rated contests you participated in, while also taking into account your competitors.

To view your rating, go to http://www.dmoj.ca/user/HANDLE/rating. For example, to view quantum's rating, go to http://www.dmoj.ca/user/quantum/rating.

The ratings displayed on a post-contest scoreboard is the new rating of the user after they participated in the contest.

Update: Contest is over! Ratings are updated, thanks for participating!

Important: You will be able to access the problems from the main judge. This is intentional, to allow students to keep solving the problems after their 4 hour timer is up. However, if it's your first time doing this contest, please access it from the contest page to keep things fair for everyone. Thank you!

You are just an ordinary programmer having a decent day while enjoying your early morning cup of tea. Suddenly, you notice two strange guys running around on the street in panic. You decide to go over to them and ask what’s up. Congratulations, you are now a part of their squad. After a lot of discussion, you find out that these guys are going after the one and only cheesecake recipe, and since you love cheesecake, you agree to help them out!
