Purely implementation tasks (when your goal is to just program what is described in the problem) appear only in Qualification round. In all other rounds, doing exactly what is described will earn you small input, though still not always. For large input you have to find some way to optimize your solution by using some mathematical fact / programming technique / insight into the problem. This is the essence of programming competition.
So, in general case, if your Large input didn't finish in time - you just did not solve the problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
