Hi there, I really like this contest, well done Google! Unfortunately I did not make enough points to advance to round 2.
What is the idea behind not being allowed to resubmit the large problems, once the eight minutes are over? Is it to reject code that runs for a longer time or to prevent in-depth (human) analysis of the input files? I submitted a wrong solution for the large problem of Round 1C 'All your Bases', and lost those 15 points for sure. Having the correct solution later on did not help. (The final code I submitted for the small problem solves the large problem as well). Anyway, I was just stupid and probably too nervous. I mistakenly though I solved the small problem correctly, when I still had a small bug. Maybe it would be a good idea to issue a warning, when you try to solve a large problem without successfully solving the corresponding small problem first.
