Next year im going to this Homedepot codeathalon thing with my school mates, and it got me thinking.
Lets suppose the denizens of /g/ were locked into a 24 - hour, lock in style, death match codeathalon. You may complete any task they give you with any code languages you know. You have no team, you are just by yourself. You may bring your own rig, as well as anything else with you. You can order food from any fast food joint, or bring your own, and you can work at your own pace.
What would you do to edge ahead of the other anons? What edge would bring to the table? What OS and equipment would you bring?

Why is home depot sponsoring a programming contest?

I think the general /g/ edge would be the logo

Sorry, what do you mean?
I'd download a copy of every question page I could on Stack Exchange for my language(s) of choice. I'm not ashamed to admit that there's always someone out there who knows how to do something better than I can figure out.

What is internet

I mean, why not? They do lots of job training and art cultivation things, at least in my town.

How would you go about that? Surely there is some crawler you could rig up to get literally every question.

Lock-in soft implies no internet access.

They need it most I think. Wouldnt that be cushy. making code for a bunch of losers who have no idea how any of it werks.
I'd bring a teenth of meth or at least a bunch of assorted amphetamines, maybe some Ritalin.

Precode all algos from Cormen in templates (assuming that problems are purely mathematical).

You will also need a nap to work efficiently so bring some sleepware.
Bring some subway and water. Eat clean. After about 18 hours, then start energy drinks, but not before. 5 Hour energies and other less sugar based energy drinks would be suggested.
