So division 2 people can do the official, right? (If they're in the cup)

In the registrants page, the font size for contestants' handles is larger than usual. Is it just me?

I faced a lot of problems participating this contest:( It took quiet a few tries to submit one problem successfully, Getting "Requested URL could not be retrieved" and other page loading problems. Besides i can't even lock my solutions. I hope admins will consider these cases.

For Problem B Div 2. Please explain me the meaning of sentence " You are allowed to use not all elements from s".

    Each element from s you can not use, or use only one time.

    Exactly I was confused with this statement. I even asked a question during the contest and got this answer: it is possible to use only some digits from s. So what I understood from this was that all digits in s cannot be used for replacement.eg: a:1234 s:9999 Then the answer should be 9994 and not 9999. But it was not so. And after failing pretests twice I found this problem.

      Same was the case with me. After 2 Wrong submissions and about hour of thinking of corner case when I couldn't think of any mistake, out of frustration I submitted the code in which we can use all letters from s and finally I got AC'ed.

Somebody could explain me how this solution pass under the 2 seconds time limit, me and another five people got unsuccessful hacks in my room (my guess is because of the codeforces server speed): http://www.codeforces.com/contest/169/submission/1412269

How can I avoid this kind of situation in the future?
