Hi,
The format of the contest doesn't look very fair, given the fact that a person
can submit the small data set multiple times in case of incorrect result but
cannot re-submit the large data set in case of time outs.
To me, the small data set is more to check the accuracy of the algorithm
whereas the large data set is to check the efficiency of the algorithm.
If that is true then what gcj is saying translates to "we will allow you to
correct your algorithm if you have an incorrect algorithm, but we will not
allow you to improve upon your algorithm if you have an inefficient
algorithm!!!"
Any particular reason for this? :-)
Thanks,
Debashis
