Results

We placed 5th overall for street this year, a new best!

Takeaways, notes, errata, etc.

  • We really need to work on some scoring tooling. Manually submitting and trying to track the diff/status of now 3 people working on the team (compared to just 1) is a massive PITA.

  • Time to make a Google Languages API account

    • Need to find some way to reliable translate things, or just start looking for good resources for popular things in other languages

  • Priortizing fewer, higher point solves is signififcantly more effective in getting score points than trying to 100% raw MD5... solely for bragging rights.
