    Are you suggesting, there are partial points for solving for smaller subtasks ? xD

One of the questions have subtasks & it's not even mentioned in the announcements ?

Is it even fair for the people who don't open all the questions / rankboard to check if any problem has a subtask?

    Open the contest page and scroll down:

    Rules and Regulations: This is an IOI-style contest. This means that the problems will be partially graded. You will get the score for passing certain test data.

    By default, every CodeChef Starters contest may have subtasks and hence you should open all problems.

    This time we even tried making it more apparent by splitting the subtasks into two different problems with XIN (Easy and Hard) and ZIGZAGTREE (Easy and Hard).
