Hack limit
By georgerapeanu, history, 8 years ago, In English

Hi!

In Codeforces Round #407 (Div. 2) problem A,the worst case input was bigger than 256kb.

But there were some deque sources,and one particular source(http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/789/submission/25911140) which instead of subtracting k,it subtracted 2k,and this was no longer TLE for the worst case that this limit allowed.

I think that for some problems the limit should be increased.What do you think about this situation? LE:apparently the source code got Ac.perhaps i didn't understand that source code

Do you want to hack with a test that's larger than the limit? If that is the case, submit its generator program instead. The program must be in one of the languages supported by Codeforces, and must print the test to the standard output stream. You probably write generator programs anyway when dealing with large tests.
