I wonder if you can clear up a memory of mine from IOI 2001. The first day results were delayed, and I seem to remember this is because a contestant encoded the search in one of the problems into a compile time c++ template metaprogram. On the second day, there was then also a compile time limit for solutions, from what I remember. Do you remember any more details of this?

How about this:

What is the most efficient algorithm to generate an N x N array of the integers 0,1,2, … such that each entry is the smallest such integer not appearing either above in the same column, or to the left in the same row?

Posting it in this thread is a bit of a spoiler :)

A fun fact: Each point in the XOR texture is the smallest integer not appearing above it, or to its left

Asymptota.com (Sofia/Dubai) | ONSITE

We are a next generation quant trading firm. We aim to be at the leading edge of automation and believe we have an excellent opportunity to challenge more established, larger, less automated incumbents. We are well capitalised, very successful and looking for developers, traders and quants. It’s ok if you want to straddle those roles. We’re especially seeking excellent engineers with good low-level knowledge and deep general software engineering experience. This is a real chance to join a top tier HFT firm and have a huge impact. We think the best work is done in person so relocation to Dubai or Sofia is required.
