Today we reused the SER (South East USA Regional) 2016 competition, it is also at the same level as NWERC, the winners or top 2 teams go to ICPC. However, looking at the results from today it seems in general a lot easier.

from __future__ import solution was the only team that had time (in exam period). After 4 hours they had solved 9 problems with an ok time, placing them in second place at SER, if they would have participated in the real competition.

There was a DP problem that needed a few too many submissions because of lazyness. One of the problems was an easy reduction to 2-sat. However from __future__ import solution did not have this in their notebook, so they decided that it was ok to look up an implementation, if they also include it in their notebook before NWERC.
