USACO Practice

Challenging problems for people who want to stretch their understanding.

One of the key ideas to keep in mind when learning from USA Computing Olympiad problems is that time matters. A slow algorithm is not good enough; keep thinking about the problem, trying to find a more efficient way to solve it. Always time your solutions. Always try your solutions on the official test cases — many times they will contain a situation that you have not considered. Enjoy it when that happens.
