[from the "Rules" page] "Participants will be first ranked by the number of problems correctly solved." [it's ok ...] "In case of a tie, the participants shall be in turn ranked by the time of submission and if the tie is still not resolved we will use the time complexity of the solutions for judging." [this means that, if the problem says: "write an algorithm to sort an array", I write bubblesort in 1 minute, another guy writes quicksort in 5 minutes, I win ... this doesn't make any sense at all! In my opinion, they are evaluating the quick-and-dirty coding ability of the programmers, quantity instead of quality ...] bye ! mattia.
