After having to skip participation in last year, I was very close to having skip again this year due to time sensitive 
commitments this year. I knew, due to travel plans which I can't move, I would not be able to compete in Round 1, post
the qualification round. Nevertheless, participated in the qualification round, which was fun as always.

Here is the 2017, QR dashboard with problem statements: https://code.google.com/codejam/contest/3264486/dashboard

I score the bare minimum qualification threshold of 25 points, after a silly mistake cost me 15 additional points.

Here is the code I wrote to solve the 3 problems I attempted: https://github.com/anuragkapur/google-code-jam/tree/master/src/main/java/com/anuragkapur/gcj2017/qr

I scored the bare minimum qualification threshold of 25 points, after a silly mistake cost me 15 additional points, which
was a little disappointing. Being rusty with competitive programming didn't help.
