Well, the rules say (or used to, I haven't checked for it this year, but it's probably there still) that if you solve by hand (which is/was allowed), you should submit a .txt or similar explaining the process used to solve them. I'd say if you manually check and correct examples, you should probably add comments to your source code stating what you did (or rather, what needs to be done in case the answer is negative, for example) or add a .txt explaining what you did and in which cases (and probably why aswell). Of course fixing your code would be better, and probably MUCH faster than checking and writing what you did, but still, should be possible. I believe all they want is a way to replicate results (which is why they require free compilers and stuff), but they won't be able to if you don't tell them how you did what you did. A source code is self-explanatory, but manual changes to the output are not. With all the information necessary to replicate, my guess is you're free to do whatever you want.
