Read the problem more than once.In problem C I didn't read that the excercise have to be done in a fixed order and didn't even get to try the smaller subtask for C. Due to this my rank is 1530 and I might have to give the round again. :Sadge:

I LOST MY INTERNET CONNECTION IN LAST 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!! (duh, actually the vpn broke down, look at my region)

If this did not happen, I'd solved C small(13pt) on contest, which will guarantee a qualification. But before I lost connection my rank was around 1230. Now it's a cliffhanger.

update: what the heck, 1230->1206

    Actually, First time I solved using more complicated method and then after I came up with bit easier solution and want to check whether it pass the test case or not.. so I submitted twice.

    Generally , In codeforces if we submit more than one correct submission than our first accepted solution will taken into consideration not the last one.

      On Codeforces you are also penalized for re-submission of a different solution.

      You're wrong! In the classic div1 and div 2 rounds on codefocres, only the last solution that passed the pretests is tested on system tests, the rest of the solutions that passed the pretests receive the status "Skipped".
