It was my first Cook-off. I like the problems. But I was very slow with first 3 and I was out of time just before I was able to solve the forth one.

What computers do you use for testing the solutions?

My solution for problem Ciel Numbers I runs locally in 0.150 seconds, but I got TLE on the server.

Is there any way to run solution on the server, to learn, how much time does it work?

    Нияз, там иногда решение которые работают 0,1 локально в 3 сек не влазят.

      That's not good.

      What should I do to be confident that my solution runs in time?

        Sometimes I rewrite my solution on another language(today my solution(on fpc) got TL, but it got AC on gpc).

    I remember that Gerald mentioned that his netbook is faster then testing machine.

    Floyd's algorithms gets TLE with TL=1s and V=500.

it's very unconvinient to search the problems in "practice". Could you make a opportunity to classify the problems by the contests where their were in?
