The results of the midterm exam are now available on your personal status page. 

The midterm will contribute with a maximum of 10% to your final grade. Bonus points are interpolated linearly between 0 and 100 points. The formula (<points>/10)% indicates how many bonus points you have reached for the final or re-exam.

There will be no dedicated exam inspection. If you have any questions regarding your correction, please visit the office hours.  

The midterm will take place tomorrow, June 20, at 10am (CEST) sharp.

We now assume that all of you can boot the virtual machine, connect to the VPN and use the judge from within the VM without any problems.
You may already download your cheatsheet from https://compro.mpi-inf.mpg.de/cheatsheet inside the VM when connected to the VPN.

The judge will be disabled for all external traffic starting this evening until after the exam.
During this timespan, you will only be able to access the judge when connected to the VPN through your virtual machine.
Note that it will be impossible to submit solutions to the current exercise sheet in this timeframe.

Please have a look at the Software request for the Contest VM forum post. If you want to have any additional software installed, please reply to this post until 06. June 23:59.

We will provide the virtual machine next week. Therefore, you should have enough time for installing the VM and testing your setup.
