Problem points scoreboard
By Phantom_Performer, history, 15 months ago, In English

During a contest, when you have a problem opened, you can see the points you will get if you solve the problem at 'X' minutes from the beginning. Would it be better if it to took into account the penalties you got as well? (so for example: the problem gives you 1450 points now, but since you have 3 wrong submissions you will get 1300 when you actually submit). Let me know your thoughts as well. P.S maybe codeforces admins could also share their thoughts? (is it hard to implement?)

    I don't think that is a good idea. Hacks exist and you might realize that your solution that passed pretests is actually wrong. In that case you know how much points you will get for resubmitting now. Also, that sounds like somewhat hard to implement and I don't think it changes that much as you can just not look at problems you solved.

      When you realize your code is wrong, won't you correct your code in any case to avoid FSTing?

        Not necessarily. If you are close to solving another problem and you think that fixing the bug might take too long and doesn't give many points, you might decide to solve the other problem first.
