Oh, and a more on-topic suggestion: could you please allow a way to hide the 
running "time left" countdown clock from the problem pages? Apparently it 
cannot be scrolled out of the screen - it takes a bit of trickery to cover.

When it's the only moving object on-screen, the clock tends to rip one's 
attention away from the problem itself. Of note, it's rendered in a 
variable-width font, so the entire string jiggles around (not just the digit(s) 
ticking).

Unless adding extra stress is the point*, I think it would be great if 
displaying the clock could be made optional.
* I do understand if this is a conscious business decision, e.g. because Google 
is aiming to recruit for high-stress roles - after all, Code Jam is (at least 
in part) a recruiting tool. However, I think adding extra stress does hurt 
people with certain disabilities disproportionately, and makes the event less 
fun for everyone.
