Bartholomew: there is another concern. Let's imagine that I've solved the Visible dataset, and I know for sure that this doesn't solve the Hidden one. I submit the solution, I get the positive verdict, and I start the better implementation. In the old platform I can always compare the results that the old (less effective) solution produces with the results that the better solution gives me, and that comes for free: I don't need to spend an attempt with a penalty. Now it is not free. Moreover, I even don't know which attempt will be taken to score my visible dataset (shall I submit my correct solution for the second time?).
Today we've got a Qual Round analysis, and the analyst still assumes that old rules are valid. Let's regard the "Saving The Universe Again": as usual we have a clue that if we know that "Since there is at most one C instruction in this test set, we can solve the two cases independently"! Who cares now of the solutions that doesn't solve both datasets? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
