So all evidence suggests that the 3rd problem is the hardest, by far, which is likely just some number of non-obvious edge cases.<p>Curious why the &quot;hard problem&quot; disclaimer is on the 4th?<p>The 4th also has a 90% solve rate (with 50% more submissions) while the 3rd has 44%.

I&#x27;m always amazed at the speed of these guys. Top guy got it all done in an hour. I don&#x27;t know if they are geniuses or if they practice this stuff every day.

Man - that problem 3 was a pain. I couldn&#x27;t get it to work until the last minute.<p>Anyone solve the small case for problem 2, but get the large case incorrect? Can&#x27;t fathom what the issue might be.

Well, looks like 20,594 people made it through the qualification round. Higher than last year, when 17,054 people made it: <a href="http://www.go-hero.net/jam/13/round/0" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.go-hero.net&#x2F;jam&#x2F;13&#x2F;round&#x2F;0</a>

Had a lot of fun with this one. Seems much tougher than previous years.

When someone asks why not outsource the coding to India, point them to this page.<p>The first Indian winner is #236, but if you go to the last page, there are a bunch of them trying.<p>EDIT: I&#x27;m gonna make a script to list the best countries that output programmers.
