The CCC

Today I wrote the CCC, a 3-hour computing competition. There were 5 situations in which were are to create a program to resolve a problem. The first problem was basic. I was multitasking because I used Turing to create the programs, and I almost forgot all the Turing I learned. So I split the computer screen to be half Turing IDE, and the other half to be Turing reference. It's very frustrating to find something on the reference, since the search option really doesn't do anything. The second problem made me think a lot! At first, when I looked over the code, I thought that it was right. But after I ran the program, I clearly saw that the code was wrong. After fixing-up the code several times, I still couldn't get the program to run properly. The most frustrating part was that I knew the problem! But the question itself was already tricky. I just couldn't come up with the solution. But I was pressed for time since this was only the second problem, and the problems only get more complicated from here. I spent an enormous amount of time just looking at the reference to see if there is anything that I could use to help fix this problem.
