Solutions to most competitive programming problems are evaluated based on whether they return the expected result on a finite set of test cases. This means that the algorithm you devise need not be perfect. In this talk I will show how we can utilise randomness in designing fast and simple algorithms that are almost guaranteed to solve problems where a perfect solution has a very high computational cost.
