So here we are with people complaining and whining about the results... Top 500 competitors were to move ahead and its a tough call there... in my previous post here... I told ya how difficult for some and easy for some the problem sets were... I had it all figured... the program worked for small data sets but failed on large ones (maybe its time to start with Python, Haskell, or Java but I am fluent in PHP and just love it...)... okay so some stats:

Number Of Contestants Who Qualified in The Previous Round: 5946

Number Of Contestants Who Submitted Solutions in This Round: 2625

Number Of Contestants With at least ONE Problem Correct: 2300

Number Of Contestants With at least TWO Problems Correct: 1614

Number Of Contestants With all THREE Problems Correct: 963

Rank 1 Holder: Wesley

Previous Rank 1 Holder: Now 428

All the best to all of you... whether you qualified or not... thats irrespective... if you tried... you are a winner... if not now... may be sometime else in this transient world... keep trying... Will see you soon... :)...
