Does somebody know, where to download the REAL problemset? The one at
http://acm.uva.es/contest/data/next/problemset/ is from another (past) contest.

Yes, I wasted over an hour solving the wrong problems
. And I'm not the only one, looking at the ranking. The correct problemset is at
http://online-judge.uva.es/contest/data ... t/html.zip.
I notified the contest clarificator, but no reply so far. This contest is wasted...

Well, 3.5 hours into the contest, I sent another mail. They choose to ignore us. It's a big shame.

The judge ignored our mail, too. We accessed the problemset by changing the URL of the given problemset manually after wasting an hour. Well, mistakes can surely occur. But why not correcting this till the end & even no clarification ? Again the judge was down for more than a hour during the contest which probably costed our team one or two more solves. Is this called contest hosting or joke ?

I guess they were busy with the realtime contest, and nobody had time to watch the online contest. I was lucky that I knew the problems of Dhaka Regional, so I realized immediately that the link of current contest was wrong. Took me 10 minutes though to figure out the correct link :-(
But the problems were nice, I especially liked problem G.

Yes, a very nice problemset. Big compliment to the problemsetters. I especially liked
The Aliens of the Planet Muzambaro have re-elected their universally unpopular leader.
in problem K. Been looking for anagrams
Such a shame that the contest was spoiled by 'technicalities'.
hmm

I actually don't know what went wrong with the contest setup. I guess people in Spain can explain better than me what happened. I was very busy wth the realtime contest as Adrian said but still found time to put corrections for problem A. I am also very upset that such a nice contest is wasted but it is a part of our life. Sometimes it becomes very tough to find someone who will look after the contest locally.
However Miguel will return today at night and I hope the problems will be added soon so that you can submit.
Yes problem G was rated a perfect 10 by Kisman as well. However problem K got bad rating from some as it had a political motive
.
