I would like to urge MikeMirzayanov to remove penalty from sample tests. There is no penalty on Sample test 1 but there is penalty on other sample tests which is just stupid. I hope penalty from sample tests will be removed.

Good suggestion!
As a bonus, I would also like to suggest removing people like Akikaze from setting problems in order to increase the overall quality of upcoming contests.
Bad news for you, I'm planning for another one.
How about removing all penalties?
No penalty on sample 1 is there to avoid penalty of submission of wrong file or on wrong problem.
Not testing all samples is just your laziness.
Platforms like Hackerearth, Hackerrank provide a way to check our submission on samples. Codeforces doesn't provide it. So the least Mike could do is remove penalty on samples.
Consider this being a competitive platform, there's just no point being that lenient.
Huh, should any ICPC from now on sparing sample tests from penalty? Not even failing on first sample test is safe there.
The point here is not only about laziness it is about not understanding the problem,if a problem has multiple answers maybe the sender thought that his/her output is correct. The sample is mainly for understanding the problem so I think this can be warning of not understanding the problem.
What was the need to create a new account for asking this?? XD
I could ask that to you too :)
Why?
I've already given my reasons in blog and comments above.
And? You can check samples by yourself, it's like 2-3 tests.
Why exactly? I really don't get it. :/
1-Can't there be more than 2-3 samples? 2-Because of the penalty on samples.
Ok. You see, there are no penalties for the first sample, because Codeforces decided not to penalize sending the wrong file or submitting the wrong problem, wrong compilator etc. If your code passes the first sample and doesn't pass other samples, your code is wrong. That's what a penalty should be for. I see no point in justifying sending wrong solutions. Not testing them is completely your fault.
