First Experience in Online Contest

I have been learning Python for a short while and I like this language because it is very neat. Today, I suddenly realised there was an ongoing online contest, held by codeforces. I researched a bit. It turns out that the problems I submitted to this site before were for practise only. Solving them does not make you become sort-of ‘rated. In order to make this a bit more interesting, I decided to give it a try. I registered the entry and was prepared for it.

This contest lasts for two hours. However, due to a technical fault, the solutions submitted were not judged immediately. Actually, they were still in queue when I came home halfway the contest. It turned out that the contest was still ‘unrated’ but it was fun. There were five problems and quite interesting. I submitted for three problems but didn not see the judgement results before I came home. Later, two solutions failed and one is still pending.

During the first ten minutes,,, maybe due to many submissions, the website once went down and it was really frustrating.

Well, I enjoy this nice experience, despite I didn’t actually earn any ratings….
