Application Date and Process
Submit your solution to the Qualification Round problem sheet via the official submission form. Pay attention to the following key points:
- You must submit a single solution document that provides a written description of your solution for all problems (conceptual and programming problems).
- You may submit handwritten or typed solutions (e.g., using TeX) for conceptual problems. For programming problems, include any code as plain text on your solution document with a description and in-line comments.
- Alongside your solution document, also upload your code file for each programming problem. The code must be written in one of the following programming languages: Python, Java, or C++. Ensure that you do not modify the provided skeleton code so that your code can be correctly evaluated on our server.
- Your solution file must describe your reasoning for each problem, as they award partial points. Mark your final solutions clearly in your solution document (e.g., underlining them).
They recommend you to explore the example problems and solutions prior to writing your submission to familiarze yourself with the expected solution format.
