Problem statement clarification:
Now I get it, I was misinterpreting question all this time. Actually after finish of each round, lead is not the difference between points of that round. But the lead is difference between the points achieved through all rounds including current round - Lakpa Tashi Bhutia
Note: There is no official syllabus for ZCO vs INOI vs IOITC. Syllabus for ZCO, INOI has been determined by looking at all the concepts covered in all ZCO, INOI problems since last 5 years. All the topics covered by ZCO, INOI are also in the Basic topics section of ICO online study material. Syllabus for IOITC is same as syllabus for IOI, since the training camp is training you for IOI. There is a higher focus on the topics mentioned in the Advanced topics specifically covered in ICO online study material. :)
The below tutorials are the best tutorials on the internet for each topic. If you find better tutorials for a particular topic, please share them with everyone.
Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO):
Here's the thing, I messed up my ZCO and is getting 0.
ZIO is my last shot as I am in 12th, and when I sat down to solve ZIO qpaper 2013, I was stumped by the very first question.
So, how do you come to an algorithm for problems in ZIO and what all can be done in 5 days.
I am in class 12 now and this year i will be appearing for KVPY as well as IOI .As the date for the KVPY has been released (4th November) and for ZCO the date has not been declared yet.So,what to do if the dates get clashed (because the registration of ZCO will start in the month of September and the last date of registration for KVPY is in August)Is there any way to postpone the dates of ZCO and ZIO or does anyone have any idea of the dates of ZCO and ZIO so that I can appear for both of the examinations.
