Testing Beta Round (Unrated)
By MikeMirzayanov, 4 years ago, In English

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 [contest:1390], 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?

    Just interface test. We do not test system performance and throughput this time.

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?

    I can only view the source of out-of-contest users (1900+). Is this intended behavior?

      You can see only codes in your room. It is OK. And your room is completely ooc.

        Ok, thanks. Also, the first time I submitted code, I got HTTP 502. But after that, it was fixed, and I can't recreate it now. Not sure if that's noteworthy.

          I think it is because I'm redeploying some backends (during the contest)

    No, but I did some refactoring to support uphacks in EDU (I'll release them soon).

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.
