Introduction
It will be a busy weekend. Julia has to catch up tax return study and preparation this Saturday. She likes to do some study her own on tax issue and visit one of H & R block. But Julia just loves the competition and she likes to experience again the competition.
The contest will have another 30 hours to go. Julia will plan to work on at least 3 - 4 hours this Saturday.
Challenges are here.

Now it is 4:05 pm, April 22, 2017. Julia solved a few problems. Here are the ranking progress report. Julia still has a few hours (15 hours) to work on. Tomorrow morning is Vancouver sun run, Julia has to go to bed early.
Julia felt much better because she is learning from every problem solving. She was busy to work on debugging the code and thinking, such a great workout.

That is the best I can do. Here is the report:
Follow up after the contest

Julia read the above comparison, she spent over 860 minutes, almost 14 hours 20 minutes scored 88 points, whereas the 20th only spent less than 605 minutes, around 10 hours to score 245 points.
The 20th player scored extra 157 points from 88 to 245 points, and also spent less than 5 hours compared to Julia.
One thing Julia found out is that players are very consistent on the performance. To compare with top 5% performers, Julia has to catch up more skills - reading, debugging, design of the algorithm and data structure, etc.
