We will mostly follow the same rules as in the NCPC. In brief:

each team has 1–3 members
you can bring any written material with you, but no electronic material
you can only use the computers, programming environments, and online documentation provided by the organisers
there is only one computer per team
printing is not possible
no internet access, no web browsing, no email, no chat, no mobile phones, etc.

Submission system

The CSES contest system will be used in HIIT Open 2024. The system automatically evaluates the solutions submitted for the tasks.

You can test the contest system beforehand at cses.fi. For example, you can try to solve problems from HIIT Open 2016, HIIT Open 2017, HIIT Open 2018, and HIIT Open 2019.

Computers

We will use normal Aalto Ubuntu Linux computers. You will find there normal text editors and the usual command-line tools, but please do not expect to find any specific IDE. Please make sure you know how to write code with a text editor and terminal.

Registration

There is no registration fee.
