I think that a lot of downvotes came from people who are disappointed by many FSTs after the round.

Quite a lot of middle-ranking participants(Specialists ~ Pupils) fell to a performance below 1200(according to Carrot) due to FST in D2C, which was enough to make people feel unfair. I think the cause of so many downvotes is mainly this "feeling unfairness". There were also some complaints about the difficulty gap in D2C~D2D.

Nevertheless, I think that these many downvotes are overkill and can discourage the organizers of the contest who worked hard. The contest went flawlessly overall, pretest testing was processed without delay.

Short Answer: Never trust floating-point arithmetics. Use integer arithmetic instead to get accurate results.

Long Answer

As a tester, I sincerely wish you all enjoy this round and get high ratings!
