Hello.

Last days I did many improvements in EDU. I afraid it can affect the contest interface. So I invite you to take part in Testing Beta Round (Unrated), just to test the system. Please, try to hacks: there were some changes in them. Please, don't expect new or interesting problems. It is just a test. Unrated.

The problems contain extremely weak pretests. Time limits are too tight. I made my best to increase number of hacks :-)

Thanks, Mike.

UPD: Thanks! It seems no bugs have been found.

So is this just a test on the interface and not the judging servers? Should we try to submit repeated TLE solutions?

I will use python to check the strict time limit and invite more hacks to my solution. Hope that helps.

Also please correct *protests

I'm not able submit. Every time it says "You should be registered for the contest to be able to submit".

The rate of decrease in the score is unusual. Is it intended??

I'm only able to view the source of a few participants who have locked their code. I can't see the code for most people. Is this supposed to happen?

Well it's out of context, but today I made my first hack. Anyone who else made here their first hack?

The judging queue is incredibly long at the moment. Is there anything wrong? Will it affect Round 666?

Update: maintainers are working on the issue. Hope they will get it settled soon.
