Fun facts about HackerRank world code sprint #6:
1. Julia won her first Bronze medal! Excellent! a big surprise!
Get into top 25% - Bronze medal (Gold 4%, Silver 8%, Bronze 13%)

2. Julia worked on a simple question: Flip matrix more than 1 hour
problem statement:

C# practice:

She was so interested in the flip part, later, she figured out that the algorithm should not be so complicated. It is just a medium level one.
3. Julia learned DFS/BFS algorithm through HackerRank, she found the joy to read code and try to write one for every different idea.
4. Being a programmer, it is hard to control your luck. But HackerRank contest looks like more controllable. More practice leads to more medal. Julia likes a silver one next time. <- Nothing is impossible! top 12%. Julia tried to stay overnight Saturday night, get in top 600/ 12%.
Fun facts:
1. More than 5 computer professors / score range: around 200 score, silver medal, 230 - 270 ranking.
2. Julia, work hard, try some difficult level algorithm day by day.
