Facebook Hacker Cup | Argote.mx
I first heard about the Facebook Hacker Cup on Twitter from @lhchavez, a friend of mine, a couple of hours before it started. Being a seasoned programming contest participant (I went all the way to the 2009 ACM-ICPC World Finals), I was immediately interested and promptly signed up for it.
The competition started with a 72-hour Qualification Round on January 8, 2011 at 0:00 UTC (January 7, 2011 at 6:00 PM in Monterrey) and ends on January 11, 2011 at 0:00 UTC (January 10, 2011 at 6:00 PM in Monterrey) and will continue with 3 more rounds, culminating with an onsite final at Facebook's Palo Alto, CA headquarters, after getting back from work on Friday I got to work on the problems.
My first impression when I opened the problems was that the first one seemed pretty straightforward (and it was). Given that they had mentioned that you needed to solve only one of the problems to advance to the next round, I was expecting them to be more difficult, at least on the level of Meal problems on the Facebook Puzzles.
