el salamo 3alikom wa ra7mato Allah wa barakatoh,
before u read, u should know that u gonna find alot of grammar/spelling mistakes, and uncomplete sentences, cuz it's all brainstorming!
since the beginnning of the vacation, the first day, i really slept... with no interrupts...is it the beginning of relax, i thought so,
i wanted, as i told u before, to learn fireworks and complete the acm tasks...
let's review what i've finished:
- 1 of the 3(may be more) acm committee tasks
- nothing in acm pracice.
- running fireworks!
- XML basics!
the first few days of the vacation, i was interested to learn so and so, i was interested when opening fireworks to explore it,,, and when reading about XML... i was not interested when working in the acmASCIS site, cuz i don't like that task,,, cuz i face alot of silly problems with asp.net, iis and the server!
yesterday i did nothing all the day...cuz i had no day that day... i wake up @ night,
today, i wake up early at 5:20 am, wishing to work alot,,, but i couldn't
I need a rest for two days -- I need to finish the work i supposed to finish
-------- and finally i remember that 4 days are remaining from the whole vacation!

Never let ur mind think like a PC
El salamo 3alikom wa ra7mato Allah wa barakatoh...
"Never think like a computer..." that was a substring in a quote published in the first (and last till now :D) acmASCIS newsletter.
I thought that thinking like a computer is top of success, and knowing how to deal with computers... few months ago i've recognized that i've reached that level, but it's not level of success,,, it's level of dumping, u may also say start of stupidity!
After 'studying' a number of algorithms for the acm, and using it to solve alot of problems, my mind is now used to ONLY map algorithms with problems!...other choice (which is to think simply) has become the last choice!
so i wish i could just return my normal human thinking mind, and take care, Never think like a computer.

the contest started, two problems foreach member, i got A&B, kamal C&D, moussa E&F
we solved B, as it's LCS algorithm, that's code is ready,,, but as non-expected -> WA
after some trials....WA too!!!!!!!
after few minutes, we found A solved by almost all teams, i read it again and again, kanet dema3'y me2affela, finally i got how to solve it O(n^2) {it has an easier solution O(n), e7l ma gatsh TLE}
solved the problem, submit,,,,WA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
making some modifications + submittions = WA !
kamal wrote code for his problem (C or D i don't remember)...then moussa sat to write his code, coming out silly problems!
the progress of Wael team is all what are trying to leeead, they solved about 2 problems till now! and we ZERO!
after fixing the silly problems concerning I/O with moussa's problem, we got it, the first ACCEPTED,,,,time left:= about 2 Hrs!
i'm sure of my code, for both problems, but i started getting hesitated!...i read it more than once, moussa doing so with me (As he 2affel 7'las)...kamal is fixing his code (moussa m3ah bardo :D)
{i've read kamal problem, and seen his code, and he has seen my code,,, but we didn't make big change :D....but that should happen in most cases ;) }
ignoring my sort function in both problems, the code is working correctly, i've made the sort function completely WRONG, it's returning BOOLEAN!!!!...i've fixed the problem, expecting that i'll get WA as usual :S....the second AC :D..fixed the other problem...3rd ACCEPTED, when was that...it was in the last 'freeze' hour ;)
kamal sat again to modify his problem, .................... ALLAH AKBAR that what he said, and we repeated, after he got the ACCEPTED...now 4 problems ACCEPTED.
We started solving another problems, and we are sure we won't complete it :D...but we have to do smg ;)

Local Contest - FCIS (cont.)
El salamo 3alikom wa ra7mato Allah,
sorry friends, but it's a habit, i don't like writing much (i like talkng much :D - i'm asking u to join me making some researches for making light voice-blogs ;))
...and another bad habit is filling my mind stack :S, i hope it's emty sme time!
have u drank ur coffee :D, ok let's first reply to Asmaa comment, how was our feeling when announcing the results, that i didn't mention yet :D, she "7ara2et" announcing that we are the third!
yes, i wanted to cry that moment, let me turn to Arabic...

yes, i wanted to cry that moment, let me turn to Arabic...
أنا دايما بحط أسوأ الاحتمالات، عشن ما أصدمش، لكن المرة دي بالرغم من إني حطيت احتمال ان احنا ما نطلعش التاني، لكن بجد بجد زعلت...
المهم، مش هنفضل زعلانين كتير، خصوصا إن إخواتنا هيثم ومصطفى طلعوا الأول ;) خدنا بعضينا بالأحضان، وأنا أكيد زعلان برضو، بس بدأنا نعقلها أنا وموسى ونحضر هنعمل ايه عشان نضمن المركز الأول السنة الجاية، وكمان قولنا الحمد لله هنلاقي وقت نخلص المشاريع اللي متلتله! وقلنا بقى ايه نعمل ورد acm ونخش online contests وتظبيط يعني :D
تاني يوم موسى عمل اتصالاتوا الفضولية بدكتور عبد الله، عشان نعرف ايه غلطتنا، وعرفنا الغلط، وبعدين موسى كلمني وقاللي الغلط (كان في مسألة أنا حلتها) وبدأنا النقاش، ووصلنا إن الغلط ممكن يكون في الـtest cases بتاعة الـjudge، وبرضو كنت متوقع إن نبقى احنا اللي غلط، موسى رن لعبد الله الساعة 1:30 بالليل، رن بس :D كلمناه تاني يوم في الكلية واكتشفنا الاكتشاف العظيم، إن إحنا ما غلطناش، وحللنا 3 مسائل والفرق بينا وبين فريق وائل بتاع 3 دقايق تقريبا واللا 30 دقيقة مش فاكر :D
ملحوظة: إن إحنا بقينا الثالث عشان اكتشافهم إن إحنا حللينا مسألتين بس صح (ركزوا بقى في الحتة دي، إحنا المفروض حللينا 3 صح، واحدة منهم بقت غلط في الـre-judge، بقوا اتنين، والمسألة الرباعة الكانت بتجيلنا غلط بقت صح، يعني مسألة قصاد مسألة :d)
تمام كده، بقت المشكلة في إن النتيجة أعلنت، وتغيرها صعب، بدأت مشاكل لمدة يوم تقريباً، دكتور عبد الله قال يا إما فريق وائل "يتنازل" لينا عن المركز التاني، اللي هو المفروض من حقنا! أو نعمل contest تاني ما بينّا!... عملنا مفاوضات واتكلمنا عن حقنا وكلمنا وائل والناس كلها ودوووووشة!، وفريق وائل مصمم علي إعادة الـcontest!!! رضينا بالأمر الوقاع وقلنا نستعد الكام ساعة الفاضلين دول للمسابقة تااااااااني! وتوكلنا على الله، لإن هو أكيد هينصرنا آجلا أم عاجلا.
رحنا تاني يوم، كل ده كان كمال ميعرفش حاجة عن الموضوع، قلنالوا بس إن في إعادة للمسابقة، وطبعا فرح (زي ما أنا فرحت أو ما قالولي قبل ما أعرف إن احنا اللي معانا الحق)
دخلت لقيت اجتماع يحضره دكتور عبد الله، وائل، سامح، هيثم، كمال وموسى، فضلنا نتناقش في نفس الموضوع برضو!
دخل طكتور كريم كمان شوية وشاركنا الاجتماع، وفي الآخر الدكتورين قالولنا نتطلع على ما هما يتخذوا القرار، Judges بقى ;)
دخلونا تاني، عشان يقولونا قرارهم:
- في في مسابقات الـacm حاجة مش فاكر اسمها، بس بما معناه استئناف :D
- في في مسابقات الـacm حاجة مش فاكر اسمها، بس بما معناه استئناف :D
- مسموح إن الفريق يقدم تظلم في الحكم حلال فترة يومين من بعد إعلان النتيجة
- الحكام بصوا للموضوع من الناحية دي... وطبعا والحمد لله...
.
.
.
إحنا بقينا المركز التاني <:o)
بس جوايز المركز التاني هيدها فريق وائل، مش مشكلة :D المهم إن إحنا كسبنا في الـlocal contest
Amigos = 2nd rank
الحمد لله، الحمد لله،،،
كده يبقى فاضل بقى الـnational والـregional
قريب ان شاء الله هتكلم عنهم، ادعوا بس إن أنا ما أتأخرش، ممكن تشربوا كام برميل عصير قصب كده على ما آجي :D
سلاااااااااااااام
