Website is incredibly slow :'( I don't manage to get the statement of the last problem...
Also, I have a strange problem of TL, maybe it's just me. (but 2nd in the rating for the moment, yay :D)
Check out my 100-point submission on the last task: http://ideone.com/XcGdqz :D
I used the percentage of matching which is given for each test to guess all answers. Then I hash the input and for each hash I give the corresponding answer. That needed, I think 100+(maybe 200+) submissions :D :D :D
I've been watching you doing that during the contest :) it's nice indeed, but it doesn't serve the aim of the contest which is practicing, and you didn't get the prizes :)
Well, I was in top 3 of Code Monk twice and they told me that I am not considered to be a beginner so I wouldn't get prize in any way :D But yeah, it's a really nice problem, I will spend some time thinking on it :)
