Does it mean that I'm likely getting tl if my code run for 998ms due to this derivation?

Maybe it is a=15.(something) and these are just multiples of a... for very small programs the time is dependent on constant factors?

Maybe the judges of Codeforces can't get the accurate executing time.

I checked my submissions. Common running times include "0, 15, 31, 46, 62, 77, 93, 108...".

The adjancent-difference of them are +15, +16, +15, +16, +15, +16, +15...

    So it seems that the submission time tends to be

    milliseconds. I guess it's because the period of the time counter.
