It's not that easy to compare. One thing to consider is that there's just one computer per team available (in my days, there were even 4 people in a team). But what is perhaps even more important, those people are _students_. Students typically don't have the experience most people on this list have. It makes a huge difference if there are a few exercises that ring a bell to you or not. Also, one doesn't have to create correct programs, or efficient ones. As long as they provide the correct results within the time limits of the tried test cases, your program counts. Luck certainly isn't excluded. Does the URL give the test cases the actual submissions were run against? Abigail
