Testing Round #11
By MikeMirzayanov, 9 years ago, translation, In English

It is not visible from user point of view, but we've introduced some changes in Codeforces backend to improve system performance. And now we want to test the system before Round 278.

I invite you to take part in Testing Round 11. It will start soon, on November, 20 21:30:00 (UTC). It will be unofficial unrated round.

Pretests are unusually weak to trigger more hack.

If you see any unexpected behavior or bugs, please inform us via comments.

Thanks.

UPD.: Thank you for participation.

Start time of this testing round makes me happy) It assures me that I'm not alone with my principle — "Do it in last 24 hours".

    the number of contestants is too small so you can't determine if it really faster or not

I figured out how to generate hacks in java. Was problem for moment because I did not realize that Random random = new Random(); had to be Random random = new Random(200); for instance with specific seed, so that it would be deterministic. Then I had many happy hacks! Can't wait to generate hacks in rated contests! Thanks Mike!

i think there is something wrong with system test

My solution for problem B must be Wrong Answer test 25 but it gives Accepted

see test case 25:

As above commentator says I see same thing for my submission, number 8769288. For test 5 I have wrong answer, and yet it says ok PANIC! jury answer is not optimal: contestant has 110, jury has 97. However it is other way around, my answer is not optimal, the jury one is!

    There was actually a problem with the checker for this task. Now it is fixed.

    He participated in virtual Contest. First he solved all problems and then Enter virtual contest room and then submit one by one.
