Okay, Round 1C is over and it's finally time to read the rules :D
Here is the part from FAQ that confused me:
"""
For example, consider a problem with four test sets: two Visible (I and II)
followed by two Hidden (III and IV). Suppose that your attempts, in order, are
as follows:
Passes I, but fails II.
Passes I, II, and III, but fails IV.
Passes I, II, III, and IV.
Passes I and II, but fails III.
In this case, we would use attempt 2 as your scoring attempt, and you would
earn points for the first two test sets. Your penalty time would be the time of
attempt 2, and you would have 1 penalty attempt to reflect the 1 attempt before
that. Note that it does not matter that attempt 3 would have earned full points;
"""
So, does it mean that, for instance, if I decided to quickly solve C-visible in
10-15 mins by brute-force to gain sure points, any later attempts to solve C
fully would be ignored in the final scoreboard?
