The deadline for participating in the annual competition 2020 is Sunday, May 31 at 23:59.
There is no deadline or requirement that you have passed the project before writing the exam, but it is recommended to at least give it a serious attempt as part of the exam preparations.
You can submit solutions any number of times (actually, at most 100,000 times and then Forsete gets annoyed).
I have office hours 12.30-13.00 during the LP1,LP2 and LP4. At other times you can email me to set up a meeting.
The description of the algorithm is in the course book. You can also find a link to the pseudo code in lab 1.
