Diary 217: No office and JAVA day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I was chatting with Shatabdi for a long time and also coding in JAVA. Yes, as surprising it may seem, I was taking part in a contest hosted by techgig.com. Well, I had no prior intentions but as soon as I looked into the problem hosted in the Easy level, I jumped onto it. I solved it and submitted the solution. Out of the 10 test cases, it was able to pass 9. I don't know which test case failed. Anyways, all this helped me to get over the fact that Rishabh and Tanvi are getting married. I woke up today at around 7:45 am, and decided that I will not go to Office today. And surprisingly, Dad's office car met with an accident on the way here, and so even Dad had to go by some other means. Accident was medium in severity. Anyways, given that I solved the easy level, I moved on to the medium level. Well, the question was tricky this time, but I still moved on with the coding. At one point, I was stuck with the algorithm, but pretty soon I found my way out of it. In between, I also watched movies to keep my mind fresh and also not to get bogged down by too much thinking about it. Finally, after a day of ups and downs, I was able to crack it. I felt very happy about it. I was in seventh heaven. I realized that my present job challenges have contributed largely to this. Anyways, I went to the gym. Today was cardio day. I came back, had a bath and then wrote this diary. I tried another approach (String Tokenizer) in the easy level question but my marks got reduced so I re-submitted the old one. Anyways, now I plan to complete some movie and sleep by 2:00 am.
