Thanks M.H. and Stanislav.

Carlos, I really like your idea about preparing my own test files for the large 
input, consisting of as many worst-case as scenarios as possible. 2 questions:

- This will have to be done programmatically, correct? I'm not even sure how we 
could do it manually.

- I'm not sure if there'll be enough time within the contest window to do that 
(I'm new to this; and it doesn't look like a cakewalk ;). If you don't mind me 
asking, do you do that during the contest or prepare some sort of "template" 
beforehand and somehow use that? What about the particular problem's 
description and limits to customize the test? 

Care to share more of your tricks? And thanks for such a detailed and helpful 
answer! :)
