Today my friend told me that my solution for problem D in yesterday's educational contest failed on system tests. "Another silly bug", I thought.
I opened my submissions to check why it failed and I was surprised to see that the verdict was compilation error!
This is my submission, and this is what the error message says:
Can't compile file: Compilation process returned error: idleness limit exceeded (process hangs)
Any idea why this could happen? It's unrated anyways so it's not a big deal but this may have happened to other rated participants too.
It must be a problem from CodeForces.I sent your code and I chose the same compiler but I get accepted!!!!

Yep, thanks :D
Just wondering if it affected someone else, because it would be pretty bad if it happened in a rated contest :p
I was solving a practice problem yesterday and my submission also showed compilation error, although it worked fine on custom invocation. Then I tried submitting the same code again, but it said that "you have already submitted the same code before". So, I just commented a useless line in my code and it got accepted. I thought it was a coincidence but looking at your post, it doesn't seem like that.
Seems like it affected several people. I hope it gets fixed soon
Same thing happened with me as well. I didn't even comment anything .
ffs, at least put brackets in your define:
#define R (2*x+1)True, that's a dangerous define, fixed it thanks :D
This one is even weirder 52856023. It failed compilation error on system test 44.
Oh wow that's really weird
