i am attempting to understand what's being asked by the competition. is not at all clear to me. i guess enough folks have heard this problem before that it is well-known?

🎄 . cant put images here . we get n xmas tree shaped polygons defined in the evaluation code and we are tasked to fit them in the tightest square posssible. Shape of trees stays the same and we aim at finding smallest square containing n trees for each n from 1 to 200.

I'm getting ID column id not found in submission even though id column is there

Hi guys, in this competition we package Xmas trees in 2-D I think as there are only x and y coordinates and angle degree in the submit file.

#

So basically, we should calculate the location (this is the middle point of the polygon I guess) and the angle of each Xmas tree for 200 packages each containing 1 to 200 Xmas trees. It should be optimized to have minimum score.

#

THis is what I understood so far 🙂

Hello everyone
What I did not understand is the id which is of the form N_i
What is this? There are 200 different values of N and 200 of i

#

that is, the solution row ids for the problem of let's say 5 trees should be 005_0, 005_1 ... 005_4

#

you have the submit the n coordinates for each of the N problems, toguether

#

So we are supposed to submit the the coordinates of every tree in each of 200 packages which contain the smallest one 1 tree and the largest one 200 trees

20100 trees in total

So a quick doubt, is there any float we are using or float64 or some decimal precision?

Hey I have a question regarding the competition. I started with an easy simple algorythm, but get a score of 116000. this cant be right i think. my code is bad but not bad. any ideas on how i could fix this? help would be greatly appreciated, it's my first competition 🙂

#

I think it might be a scaling issue, but i am not sure.

#

Because my square is consitantly smaller than the one of the getting started example and i get huge scores

#

are you appling scale correctly? Try /= 1e15 x and y before generating your csv

#

I fixed it still same result.

#

It must be scaling but i dont understand what you meant. I had no scalefactor.
