1. first few rounds are 3 qns per round. it increases later .. you can check the questions of previous year's contests for this
2. while reading the questions, if you are logged in, you will have an option above where you can download the input file. once you do that, you get option to send the output and the source file. based on your output, google decides if your solution is right. you dont need to send zip file .. just the .cpp file or whatever you are making. you see it as zip file in the webpage because google automatically does that. 3. not necessary. small file will have lesser points and large will hv more. if you dont solve a single large, you probably wont make it to next round though. if you get a wrong answer for small, you can keep submitting them again and again till you get the right answer. however, for large, you get a 8 minute period (after downloading input) where you have to submit and you will get to know if its correct only at the end of the contest. if 8 minutes end, you cant submit the large file throughout the contest. so basically, you use small input file for "testing" your code and once satisfied, you can submit large. also, if you cant find an algo, you can probably make a brute-force attempt for small and skip large so that you get points for small atleast. i dont see a reason why anyone would submit large but not small.
