Could you point me to a description of how the Codeforces format works exactly, or if that doesn't exist, quickly summarize it for those of use who haven't participated in any of these contests yet?
The first thing I want to say is that I had much fun hacking the solutions, even though almost every solution I hacked had the same bug as mine :) Eventually, I've received more points in hacking solutions for the first two problems than I possibly could by solving them.
However, I couldn't get used to the way the contest proceeds - i.e. instead of solving the problems I checked my room every minute for new submissions. Did anyone else get distracted by hacking opportunities? :)
Also, while you're coding, remember what pitfalls you had to escape and search for similar mistakes during hacking.

My solution got TLE on test14 . Is it because i solved it in O(n 2) ??
You may double click into cells (or ctrl+click) to view the submissions history or hack the solution
As for the new format, I also think that the ability to code and hack at the same time make no sense. The contests become more like a game. And the genre is real-time strategy :) Like WarCraft or something... I hate this kind of games so maybe that's the reason I feel this way about the new format.
We are talking about problem B. If you give us:
0 2 3
0 5 11
He answers -1 but the correct is 0. Can this test be added to the test cases?
