    If you are copying the code from your editor and pasting it into our online editor then just add a space character in your code and you will be able to submit it.

      We made an announcement to resubmit solutions for the problem VIRUS. And the other two problems which you are talking about, we had a close look at your solution and you were actually failing on at least one of our test files.

      Do read the editorials which we have posted and let us know if you are still facing issues.

I seriously have mixed feelings about this contest.

The problems were of appropriate difficulties (the one with counting shortest paths on a grid with blocked off junctions appeared in Slovak national OI, labeled as 'hard', a few years ago), and were interesting. Also, I like the idea of a contest set specifically at night.

On the other hand, the technical issues were severe. There were many eternally pending solutions, maybe the testing system broke down? Also, there were some inaccuracies in the problem descriptions (like zeroes in matrices in problem LPGAME).

I believe that without those difficulties, the contest would've been much more enjoyable. But I still hope to solve the remaining problems for practice later.

    Yes, we faced many technical issues during the contest. We will try our best to not let such incidents effect the quality of contest from next year. Its great to hear that you liked the problem set.

    Regarding the problem LPGAME. The zeroes have no impact on the result so we just dropped them. It was clearly mentioned in the problem statement that the value in each cell would be between 1 and 9(both inclusive).

I still have no idea why my solution for LPGAME got Time Limit Exceeded. It is the same as the intended one in the editorial and takes only 0.5s to run the maximum possible test on my own computer. I must have been missing some corner cases...

Where can I get the editorial of the contest? I am really looking forward to reading it. The problems are nice and hard. Thank you very much!
