neal.wu solved 1-small after 6 minutes and 12 seconds, 1-large after 6 minutes and 48 seconds. 2-small after 15 minutes and 19 seconds, 2-large after 16 minutes and 12 seconds, 3-small after 27 minutes and 5 seconds, getting it wrong once, and 3-large after 27 minutes and 30 seconds.
As he was completely finished in 27 minutes and 30 seconds, with 1 wrong attempt at a small input which costs him 4 minutes, his total score is 99 points, and his penalty time is 31 minutes and 30 seconds. Nobody scored 99 points in less than 31 minutes and 30 seconds, so neal is the "winner" of the qualification round. Penalty time is more important in future rounds if your score is near that required for 1000th place, and indeed penalty time may decide the winner in the finals in the case of a tie.
