Second IOI contest

This morning was the second contest in the IOI. I solved all three problems, just about in the time. However it turned out that I did not have the fastest solution for one of them so my final score was 274 making a total of 483. The scores were available even faster this morning - 45 minutes after the competition ended. Cian scored 122 today so may well get a medal; Stephen scored 29 and Alex 0 (he had a very small bug without which he would have got 100).
Many other people seem to have done well (over 400) which would make the gold cutoff high. However I am not sure how much my observations are skewed by the fact that I tend to know people who have been to several olympiads before. Mark Thompson from Great Britain scored about 470.
