This week in competitive programming

This week was so busy that I didn't have time to solve programming contests, so here's just a quick summary of their results.

TopCoder SRM 616 took place on Thursday (problems, results, top 5 on the left).

The first round of TopCoder Open 2014, Round 1A, took place on Saturday (problems, results, top 5 on the left).

However, top 250 by rating who have participated in SRMs in 2014 were automatically advanced to Round 2, and there was a special Parallel Round where those could compete (same problems as Round 1A, top 5 on the left). Surprisingly, the top fives of both rounds are comparable.

Google Code Jam 2014 Qualification Round ran for 27 hours between Friday and Saturday (problems, results, top 5 on the left).

And finally, the 13th round of the Open Cup took place on Sunday (results, top 5 on the left).

Thanks for reading, and check back next week for a hopefully more informative report!
