Given that it's going to be conducted on codechef, I think whatever is supported on the site will be allowed. So I'd suggest just trying there and checking if whatever you want is available. It's unlikely that there will be any extra restrictions placed just for ZCO.

I would like to participate in IOI2018 for India. However I do not reside in india. How To go about this situation.
Hey abhinav,
The IOI regulations state: "Students who are studying abroad may represent the Country of their nationality."

So, if you are an Indian citizen, then theoretically there should not be an issue. But there are practical issues like where to give the first rounds of the contest, etc. You'll have to get in touch with ICO regarding this. Send an email to ico@iarcs.org.in detailing your situation.
There has been at least one instance in the past where an Indian citizen residing outside the country went on to IOI, representing India. So this is not a very rare situation.

There had been a mistake while uploading the testdata onto CodeChef. It's now been fixed, and all submissions to this problem have been re-evaluated.
Let me know if some stupid solutions still get 100.
