In the past, usually when you submit your answer for small data set, you will get the verdict back immediately; if your answer is incorrect, you can still resubmit solution, each incorrect submission counts 4 minutes towards the time penalty.
Once you get a correct verdict for your small data set, you will no longer be able to submit any solution for small data set. So keep in mind that you should carefully save all the small data set you have downloaded (you can also redownload it in submission history page) because it is super useful for debugging your large data set. Once you think you have the perfect solution, you can download the large data set and start your 8 minutes timer. Your solution should read the large data set and output the result within such time-window. Otherwise, you will get t timeout verdict. The final verdict of this submission will usually be given after contests ended. You can however, resubmit the solution for large data set within this 8-minute-window, without any penalty. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
