Hi, I want to know the exact time allotted for each problem in the contest. In my case, I am trying out the practice problems at http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=32003. For the problem on that page (Alien Numbers), the details of the solutions are provided at http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/scoreboard?c=32003. Now on checking the Time Submitted checkbox, the time taken for each solution is displayed. Hovering over any such time value shows a small tooltip. for example, for the first solution (by *sclo*), hovering over the time* 20:38* shows the tooltip *sclo solved this input at time 20:38*. Now what does it mean, does it mean that he submitted the solution at 20:38 as per the contest time, or is it that he submitted the solution 20:38 minutes since the contest started? And also at http://code.google.com/codejam/quickstart.html, it mentions time limits like 4 minutes and 8 minutes. Does it mean that the contestants should submit their solutions within 4/8 minutes after the contest starts? How is it possible to think and code within such limited time?
