Hey cupid !!
Its simple...

   - sclo solved and submitted the solution in 20 mins 38 seconds since the
   contest officially starts
   - the time limit of 4 mins is given to download the test case and run it
   along yur program. so make sure your output is generated within those 4 / 8
   mins. any delay will cost u a penalty.

Hope this cleared your timely confusion :p
