My submission on 1637E got TLE on system test. But the exactly same code got passed after the contest.

The test case where I TLEed only takes 1871ms. The volatility is more than 129ms, which is a bit huge. I felt really bad about this :(
Could I ask for rejudgement please? MikeMirzayanov
Thanks in advance!
Auto comment: topic has been updated by Neal_lee (previous revision, new revision, compare).
why do you use endl??
Why do you think endl can't be used when T=1e4??
That's not the only surprising thing that happened in the contest. Apparently there was no plagiarism in this contest. In the last educational round, Mike said that there would be a recheck and ratings would be updated after removing cheaters and apparently ratings never got updated. https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/99483?#comment-883045
I think ratings got updated , mine increased by one just before today's global round.
Can any body tell how many pretests did E have?
If I recall correctly, there were 20.
I suggest we also rejudge programs which fail because of sheer random chance (bad luck in using randomized solutions). It is unfair to penalize people simply because they got unlucky and hit a wrong answer with a very low probability when their solution is correct. I would also like to apply for a rejudge, in addition to retroactive rating updates over the past 2 years. Thank you for your consideration. MikeMirzayanov

In addition, I humbly request that you include a subsection containing my comment in all future blog posts with this sort of content, else I will be forced to copy-paste it again Neal_lee (and anyone else thinking of posting similar blogs). Have a great day!
