Hello.
Last days I did many improvements in EDU. I afraid it can affect the contest interface. So I invite you to take part in [contest:1390], just to test the system. Please, try to hacks: there were some changes in them. Please, don't expect new or interesting problems. It is just a test. Unrated.
The problems contain extremely weak pretests. Time limits are too tight. I made my best to increase number of hacks :-)
Thanks, Mike.
UPD: Thanks! It seems no bugs have been found.
So is this just a test on the interface and not the judging servers? Should we try to submit repeated TLE solutions?
Just interface test. We do not test system performance and throughput this time.
I will use python to check the strict time limit and invite more hacks to my solution. Hope that helps.
Also please correct *protests
Thanks and thanks
I'm not able submit. Every time it says "You should be registered for the contest to be able to submit".
I don't see you registered for the contest.
I registered now.
The rate of decrease in the score is unusual. Is it intended??
Yes, just because of unusual contest duration.
I'm only able to view the source of a few participants who have locked their code. I can't see the code for most people. Is this supposed to happen?
I can only view the source of out-of-contest users (1900+). Is this intended behavior?
You can see only codes in your room. It is OK. And your room is completely ooc.
Ok, thanks. Also, the first time I submitted code, I got HTTP 502. But after that, it was fixed, and I can't recreate it now. Not sure if that's noteworthy.
I think it is because I'm redeploying some backends (during the contest)
I didnt notice any interface changes, what were they?
No, but I did some refactoring to support uphacks in EDU (I'll release them soon).
Well it's out of context, but today I made my first hack. Anyone who else made here their first hack?
Still 0. I was gonna hack my own solution but it failed system tests. :P
So where does the contest 52 go?
The judging queue is incredibly long at the moment. Is there anything wrong? Will it affect Round 666?
Update: maintainers are working on the issue. Hope they will get it settled soon.
