I have to agree with the formating... I lost a lot of time with that. Do you use /r/n or /n or /r or /n/r? I always use /r/n Is 0,5 and 0.5 the same? I use 0.5 always Is 0.50 valid when 0.5 expected? hmm...
May be being more explicit in the formatting will help, also I would like to know that my mistake was in the formatting or not. But I just get "Incorrect". Looking at the source of the page shows <br/> where you need to add new line in the output. But it's a trick I'm not proud of. For those having the problem of submiting worng file I browse with the preview panel of Windows 7 enabled so I can see the content of the file I'm about to submit and check if it's correct. But "use Windows 7" should not be the solution for that. And the fact that there is no divition between input and output dosn't help when I want to copy the sample input to do a test before trying the small input. I think that what we want is a good set of poka-yoke. A problem not only of Google Code Jam, but of any GUI. That's way they have "undo", but Google Code Jam doesn't like will have one of those. It's like when you publish something, it will not undo to private again. Google Code Jam have done a good work so far, I had all I need to solve the problem, if I didn't I can only blame myself.
