something Putnam something

by math_explorer, Dec 7, 2015, 10:54 PM

Oh, so that happened. I did not go in with much preparation, much dedication, or any sort of goal, and I got a terrible/hilarious distribution of solves (guessing in the comments is welcome, will respond with Hamming distance, please don't spoil if you already know). No money :(

That's really all I feel like bothering to say about the matter. I'm currently reading Sipser's Introduction to Theory of Computation so that I can attempt to take a grad class that I am, by any reasonable standard, totally unqualified for. I don't think personally competing in math contests will ever be a high priority for me again.

briantix: Hamming distance 4
MathStudent2002: Hamming distance 6

Also, my blog loads incredibly slowly for me. Is this happening to anybody else?
edit: It's min.us's fault :( I have stopped being a pointlessly contrarian hipster and used imgur like everybody else.

Hamming distance in this case is the number of problems such that (I solved it) xor (you guess that I solved it).

Hamming distance 5... I think... (you can see I've already started forgetting)
