#2I always find out about these things too late. I wish there was a Lanyard for coding contests and the like.

#3Problem D (the only nontrivial problem) was actually in an ICPC regional a few years ago (south american perhaps?) so a lot of people will have seen this one before.

It's not too late. There's still 12 hours to do the easy qualification problems.

you still can participate, there's still enough time to get 20pts which are sufficient to qualify for the next round

#8To all saying "Ugh no time!" At this point, there are still 7 and a half hours remaining. You can easily qualify (20 points) in under an hour.
That being said, #4 is the only one that tripped me up - I'm think the solution is very simple and elegant but all I can think in my head is something along the lines of ray-tracing. Back to the drawing board!

#9did anybody solve problem d by any chance

Ray-tracing seems reasonable, and not a lot of code.
