Hello everyone!

We are happy to announce the Christmas Polyglot Marathon held by CodeFights on Saturday, December 23 at 22:00 GMT+4. Polyglot Marathon is a two-hour-long fun competition where you are given 12 tasks each one of which should be solved using a different language (but it is up to you to chose the language for each task). The top 10 participants will all receive a $50 Amazon gift card and 500,000 CodeFights coins (equivalent to a bitcoin :D CodeFights T-shirt). You can register for the competition here.

To prepare for the marathon and get more familiar with the rules you can participate in the Training Polyglot Marathon.

Have fun and CodeFight on!

      Well, this's the only reason I have 0 instead of 300 on H. Can someone from codefights investigate this please?

So I took the third place and there is only 125k prize. Wasn't it mean that each of top 10 participants gets the 500000?

What's the correct solution for C? I implemented a greedy one in Haskell and it gets 75 points by failing three tests. Probably there are some extra cases I didn't care enough about..?

    Oh, I see eatmore's comment on Codefights:

    In task C, apparently you can't break a line after a letter. So, if at some point 77th character is a letter, and 78th character is a space, you can't break a line between them. Otherwise, some tests don't pass.

    After fixing that, all tests pass.
