    Default Window Washer Problem

    Here is a problem I hope mid-level coders will try, as well as TJ's best

    Go to TopCoder Registration to register to see the problem

    The Window Washer problem I will try to find a tougher problem

    All is required is that you do not look at the answer



    I tried it once and had to put ice on my head,

    Crosswire if i get enough time to think about a problem i can solve it. 60 mins. for me is not enough time to think and solve.

    However i shall try the Algorithm part.

    Dont loose hope boss! By the time you reach the final rounds, where u meet with icymint, you are going to be faster than 60 mins.

    Only problem is defeating icymint in the finals . Too bad unnu could not get a team option. I am sure you would be unstoppable.

    Hope is never lost Crosswire. I just know i don't like the time constraints. I am one of them people that don't remember coding. Everytime i sit in front of a text editor is like the first time.

    Compiling for me is no easy task. However seeing a problem and thinking up solutions easy for me. Putting it in languages the hard part. With topcoders i will have to learn to do that. I actually look foward to the challenge.
