Beijing Bank
October 24th, 4:00 PM East China University of Technology, a team of people rushed. This is exactly the day before the school celebration in our school. However, there is less people, but we are going to go to Beijing. We are by the coach Shua Preparation Army, leader Guan Tao and three teams (a team Multistar: Liang Tianyi, Liang Hongqi, Song Chao, two teams Lionking: Wang Jun, Song Xiaobo, Yang Qinghua, Three Team Rainofstar: Zhao Chunming, Zhang Yusi and I ) A group of eleven people. Since I heard that the name of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery and ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) is invisible, we have a professional competition in such an international competition. Today, we really have to enter the 27th International College Student Program Design Competition, and the mood is difficult to speak.
On October 25th, the train slowly entered the Beijing station in the morning of the morning, and we shower in the midst of Shanghai last night. We have thrown into the cold in October. Perhaps the tour of the tour, Wang Jun and I have been born in this time, although it is just a slight feeling, but I am in a hurry, and then I will stay in the room in the room in the afternoon. " Peking University scenery is close, but we can only enjoy the elegant and sages of the lake in the dream.
On October 26, at 2:00 pm, the Tsinghua University's comprehensive gymnasium is crowded. . It is warm-up before the game. For a total of two hours, there is only one question, mainly to make the player familiar with the contest environment. The topic is not difficult, requiring output a number of students in the exam. When you see this question, you must first think that it is sorted, but what is sorted is a key. Considering that there is a ranks in parallel and the score is an integer of 0 to 100. We use the idea of counting the sort, and the time complex is O ( n), fast speed and simple program. At this time, a team and the second team are also submitted. Then, we have begun to modify the original procedure, the various feedback information given by the test referee, and it is estimated that other teams are also doing the same thing, they are busy, but they are only pitiful. Two hours later, when I left the game, Song Xiaobai said half of the joke. When he left, he saw that someone had more than 500 pages of the book, and the result was still not yet. We laugh, but everyone understands that tomorrow is a real battle. Can we easily go out of the stadium like today?
On October 27, the exciting moment was finally here at 10:00 am. The 91` branch representative team from nearly 50 colleges and universities in China is a game. A short opening ceremony is officially started. There are 8 top questions, represent different topics with different colors, if you submit it correctly, plug in a balloon. The three divisions of our team cooperate, read the topic first. Zhao Chunming took the lead with the problem E: Game Prediction thought, and discussed the two people in Zhang Headerand, confirming the debugging of the idea. At this time, we found that there are more and more teams of Mileage Bank, so I put down the problems you are reading to attack Problem H. "-Yes" referee gives response, Zhao Chunming successfully. We start writing the last question right away. After 10 minutes, the two balloons were almost in front of us, and they had not yet 11:30. Then we finish the remaining questions and found that there is a promising Movem A: Moving Object Recognition, Problem C: Radar Installation and Problem G: Machine Schedule. The Problem G should be a greedy algorithm, but how to implement, discussing the process of using an error. And for Problem C, although we abstract mathematical model and propose algorithms (and later confirmed to be completely correct), due to insufficient experience, he darested to bring up Problem G's written procedures, still hope to be able to After a slight change, the correct result is obtained, so that it is not yet. From 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, the five hours of competition is not only intelligent than the intelligence. Delicious lunch is placed around, but no one moves until the end of the game. I was thinking that when I was too late to lunch, Song Xiaobo and Yang Qinghua "the momentum" landed to us "Xingshi asked", "blaming" we frighten them. It turned out that when they were "-Wrong Answer", when we finished two questions, they were even more hop, and sharp is almost ligated. However, they are in the edge of the giving, they encourage each other, envoys each other, rewrite the three-pass program with trembling hands, and finally did it. Then, they confidently increased, such as struggling to overcome Problem C. Because the top two questions in our team passed once, there is no unforgettable psychological feeling of life, but can we have good psychological quality when we are in such a situation, like them? I don't dare to say, my heart is only deeply admired. Although we are two, the three teams have been flat, but don't forget our ace combination - Multistar. Liang Hongyi once said to me: As long as there is Liang Tianyi and Song Chao, he is not afraid. This is not bovy, but the absolute trust of intimate comrades and the vows of "do not break the land". Now, with a solid basic skill, rich experience and tacit cooperation, they set up 5 questions. Teacher Shen joy said: I don't look at the display, I know you have made a few questions. It turns out that every question, Liang Hongxi will laugh at the coach, but fortunately he is not Yang Guifei, otherwise it must be the country. His joy is that Liang Hongshen's father has also come to the venue. The father and son embracted, laughing, sharing the joy of success, which is simply that this is the most beautiful moment in the world. Outside the gym, oblique sun is concentrated.
At the late 7:00 dinner, in a relaxed and cheerful music. Exciting is a professor of the famous computer science and technology department in Tsinghua University. Wu Wenhu, director of the Competition Review Committee, came to the scene, and talking to the contestants. The camera loud, realized our dreams for many years - take a photo with Teacher Wu. At the evening 8:00, the awards party was held as scheduled. When Wu Wenhu teacher announced: "Fifth place: East China University of Technology - Multistar, Silver!" When we boil, full of anxious immediately and excited. The hard practice in the cold summer is finally achieved today. When they stood on the podium, we were desperately applauded, and I didn't know when I had a tear. How exciting moment! After the meeting, Liang Hongyi and I can't wait to call far in Shanghai. We said that only four words: Huawei is big! Bridge!
On October 29, at 9:45 in the morning, he was full of drums, wearing a drizzle, Liang Hongqi and I walked into a long-lost university physics classroom. He put a "V" glyph: Huaxian ACM finally smashed !
Although the logo has been in the past few days before and after the game, the experience of this year is unforgettable, especially the deep friendship between us. Although, we nine people come from different grades, different majors, but they have come together, have passed through the hot summer, have passed a few nine strict winter, during which during this period, the low and passionate, hard work, success and failure. However, as long as we are together, whenever we will be full of laughter; as long as we are together, there are hundreds of confidence in the face of how much difficult difficulties. Today, the Multistar team must step on the long journey of Camp, India, once again fight for us, and believe that they will write a magnificent hymn. Then let us wish them all the way.
On November 24, 2002, in China
