Google Code Jam 2020 Round 3 Screencast

Screencast of GCJ's brutal Round 3. Minimal commentary, since I really had to focus for this one. Results below:

Shockingly, I managed to get problems A, B, and 2/3 of C, for a ridiculously good 11th place finish! (Note: In the video it looked like I came 10th, but some standings changed after a review.) After wasting far too much time on C's hard case, I gave up and managed to submit a clutch solution for B in the last 4 minutes of the contest. I'm in the Finals! Woohoo!

EDIT: Upon later reflection, I realized that one of my assumptions in Thermometers was wrong. My solution fails on this input:
1
100 3
0 98 99
1 2 3
Case #1: 3
So, the test data was weak. I was even luckier than I thought...

I don't know you. I haven't heard of you. But I sensed from the end of the video you were probably going through some rough patch or monotony or just not so exciting times in life. The joy on your face was so genuine and refreshing. The purest form of happiness brings happiness to others just by being in the vicinity. Really happy for you. Wishing you many more such refreshing, exciting and joy filled moments in all sphere of life Derek! More power to you man!

Derek, have you thought of making explanation videos of these rounds? It would be really helpful and interesting, I think you can explain them better than any other competitive programmer on YouTube.
