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 -Jugesh On 22 January 2012 23:32, Cupidvogel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I want to know the exact time allotted for each problem in the > contest.
